Subject: [PATCH net-next] neigh: reduce arp latency

Remove the artificial HZ latency on arp resolution.

Instead of firing a timer in one jiffy (up to 10 ms if HZ=100), lets
send the ARP message immediately.

Before patch :

# arp -d 192.168.20.108 ; ping -c 3 192.168.20.108
PING 192.168.20.108 (192.168.20.108) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 192.168.20.108: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=9.91 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.20.108: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.065 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.20.108: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.061 ms

After patch :

$ arp -d 192.168.20.108 ; ping -c 3 192.168.20.108
PING 192.168.20.108 (192.168.20.108) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 192.168.20.108: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.152 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.20.108: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.064 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.20.108: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.074 ms
