IB/IPoIB: Don't update neigh validity for unresolved entries
BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1615620 commit 61c78eea upstream. ipoib_neigh_get unconditionally updates the "alive" variable member on any packet send. This prevents the neighbor garbage collection from cleaning out a dead neighbor entry if we are still queueing packets for it. If the queue for this neighbor is full, then don't update the alive timestamp. That way the neighbor can time out even if packets are still being queued as long as none of them are being sent.
