[PATCH net-2.6.25] [IPv4] Remove unused define in include/net/arp.h (HAVE_ARP_CREATE)

Hello,

It seems to me that the HAVE_ARP_CREATE (empty) definition, from
include/net/arp.h, can be removed,
since it is not used anywhere in the kernel.

This was added long ago by some bonding driver infrastructure changes
so that code could check whether the arp_create() helper function
existed in the kernel.

But it is totally unused now and yes it should be removed.

Patch applied.
