Subject: [PATCH 2/7] neigh: Get rid of neigh_table->kmem_cachep


We are going to alloc for device specific private areas for
neighbour entries, and in order to do that we have to move
away from the fixed allocation size enforced by using
neigh_table->kmem_cachep

As a nice side effect we can now use kfree_rcu().
