ipv6: Avoid rt6_probe() taking writer lock in the fast path
The patch checks neigh->nud_state before acquiring the writer lock.
Note that rt6_probe() is only used in CONFIG_IPV6_ROUTER_PREF.
40 udpflood processes and a /64 gateway route are used.
The gateway has NUD_PERMANENT. Each of them is run for 30s.
At the end, the total number of finished sendto():
Before: 55M
After: 95M
