neighbor: Call __ipv4_neigh_lookup_noref in neigh_xmit
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.
Fixes: cd9ff4de0107 ("ipv4: Make neigh lookup keys for loopback/point-to-point devices be INADDR_ANY")
