Subject: [PATCH v2] net IPv6: Remove unnecessary argument of ndisc_send_ns
 and ndisc_send_na

The 'neigh' argument of 'ndisc_send_ns' and 'ndisc_send_na' are not used in
these functions. So this argument could be removed.

And a minor change of 'optlen' assignment in those functions. the compound
addition and assignment operator is not needed as 'optlen' value is always
zero.

Signed-off-by: Balakumaran Kannan <kumaran.4353@...il.com>

I am not sure whether 'neigh' argument is intentional or planned for any
future use. If you find this is unnecessary, this patch could be considered.

And ndisc_send_na is used as a function pointer in ipv6_stub. This may affect
anybody using this structure. But with default configuration built, I didn't
get any error or warning. Kindly consider this scenario also.

Please ignore the previous patch as it doesn't have optlen modification in
ndisc_send_na
