Subject: [PATCH net-next 3/4] rocker: do not make neighbour entry changes when preparing transactions

rocker_port_ipv4_nh() and in turn rocker_port_ipv4_neigh() may be
be called with trans == SWITCHDEV_TRANS_PREPARE and then
trans == SWITCHDEV_TRANS_COMMIT from switchdev_port_obj_set() via
fib_table_insert().

Although I have been unable to find a scenario where a bug manifests
I do see some incorrect behaviour when adding a fib entry with a gateway.

The first time that rocker_port_ipv4_nh() is called, with
trans == SWITCHDEV_TRANS_PREPARE, _rocker_neigh_add()
adds a new entry to the neigh table.

And the second time  rocker_port_ipv4_nh() is called, with
trans == SWITCHDEV_TRANS_COMMIT, that entry is found and
_rocker_neigh_update() is called.

Assuming the transaction runs to completion this appears to be harmless.
I suspect it would be not correct if the transaction was aborted.

This problem does not appear to affect deletion as my analysis is
that deletion is always performed with trans == SWITCHDEV_TRANS_NONE.

For completeness _rocker_neigh_{add,del,prepare} are updated not
to manipulate fib table entries if trans == SWITCHDEV_TRANS_PREPARE.
