This patchsets improves the performance of neigh_flush_dev.

Currently, the only way to implement it requires traversing
all neighbours known to the kernel, across all network-namespaces.

This means that some flows are slowed down as a function of neighbour-scale,
even if the specific link they're handling has little to no neighbours.

In order to solve this, this patchset adds a netdev->neighbours list,
as well as making the original linked-list doubly-, so that it is
possible to unlink neighbours without traversing the hash-bucket to
obtain the previous neighbour.

The original use-case we encountered was mass-deletion of links (12K
VLANs) while there are 50K ARPs and 50K NDPs in the system; though the
slowdowns would also appear when the links are set down.

Changes in v7:

 - Fix crash due to use of poisoned hlist_node
 - Apply samx-tree formatting

Gilad Naaman (6):
  neighbour: Add hlist_node to struct neighbour
  neighbour: Define neigh_for_each_in_bucket
  neighbour: Convert seq_file functions to use hlist
  neighbour: Convert iteration to use hlist+macro
  neighbour: Remove bare neighbour::next pointer
  neighbour: Create netdev->neighbour association
