I guess this patch is not harmful since it does nothing if we are not in
IN_TIMER and it fixes an issue if for some reason we hit this code and we
have already scheduled the neigh timer (other parts of the state machine
do the same). Anyway I agree we could add some sanity checks to inputs from
userspace.

Lorenzo
