ipv4: arp: fix a lockdep splat in arp_solicit()
Yan Burman reported following lockdep warning :
=============================================
[ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ]
3.7.0+ #24 Not tainted
---------------------------------------------
swapper/1/0 is trying to acquire lock:

but task is already holding lock:
(&n->lock){++--..}, at: [<ffffffff813f63f4>] arp_solicit+0x1d4/0x280
other info that might help us debug this:
Possible unsafe locking scenario:

lock(&n->lock);

Bug is from arp_solicit(), releasing the neigh lock after arp_send()
In case of vxlan, we eventually need to write lock a neigh lock later.
Its a false positive, but we can get rid of it without lockdep
annotations.
We can instead use neigh_ha_snapshot() helper.
