Subject: [PATCH net-next 3/3] net, neigh: Reject creating NUD_PERMANENT with NTF_MANAGED entries

The combination of NUD_PERMANENT + NTF_MANAGED is not supported and does
not make sense either given the former indicates a static/fixed neighbor
entry whereas the latter a dynamically resolved one. While it is possible
to transition from one over to the other, we should however reject such
creation attempts.

Fixes: 7482e3841d52 ("net, neigh: Add NTF_MANAGED flag for managed neighbor entries")
