[patch 06/17] neighbour.c, pneigh_get_next() skips published entry

[akpm@osdl.org]

From: "Jari Takkala" <Jari.Takkala@Q9.com>

Fix a problem where output from /proc/net/arp skips a record when the full
output does not fit into the users read() buffer.

To reproduce: publish a large number of ARP entries (more than 10 required
on my system).  Run 'dd if=/proc/net/arp of=arp-1024.out bs=1024'.  View
the output, one entry will be missing.
