[ Upstream commit 4b2a2bfeb3f056461a90bd621e8bd7d03fa47f60 ]
Commit cd9ff4de0107 changed the key for IFF_POINTOPOINT devices to INADDR_ANY but neigh_xmit which is used for MPLS encapsulations was not updated to use the altered key. The result is that every packet Tx does a lookup on the gateway address which does not find an entry, a new one is created only to find the existing one in the table right before the insert since arp_constructor was updated to reset the primary key. This is seen in the allocs and destroys counters: ip -s -4 ntable show | head -10 | grep alloc
which increase for each packet showing the unnecessary overhread.
Fix by having neigh_xmit use __ipv4_neigh_lookup_noref for NEIGH_ARP_TABLE.
