    neigh: set nud_state to NUD_INCOMPLETE when probing router reachability · 2176d5d4

    Since commit 7e980569("ipv6: router reachability probing"), a router falls
    into NUD_FAILED will be probed.
    
    Now if function rt6_select() selects a router which neighbour state is NUD_FAILED,
    and at the same time function rt6_probe() changes the neighbour state to NUD_PROBE,
    then function dst_neigh_output() can directly send packets, but actually the
    neighbour still is unreachable. If we set nud_state to NUD_INCOMPLETE instead
    NUD_PROBE, packets will not be sent out until the neihbour is reachable.
    
    In addition, because the route should be probes with a single NS, so we must
    set neigh->probes to neigh_max_probes(), then the neigh timer timeout and function
    neigh_timer_handler() will not send other NS Messages.
