Subject: [PATCH] net: neigh: make ->hh_len 32-bit

Using 16-bit ->hh_len doesn't save any memory, save some .text instead:

	add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 1/6 up/down: 2/-19 (-17)
	function                                     old     new   delta
	neigh_update                                2312    2314      +2
