Subject: [PATCH 1/2] neigh: make struct neigh_table::entry_size unsigned int

Neigh entry size can't be negative.

Space savings:

	add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/5 up/down: 0/-7 (-7)
	function                                     old     new   delta
	lowpan_neigh_construct                        25      24      -1
	clip_seq_sub_iter                            152     151      -1
	clip_ioctl                                  1475    1474      -1
	clip_constructor                              93      92      -1
	__neigh_create                              2455    2452      -3
