neigh: Better handling of transition to NUD_PROBE state
[1] When entering NUD_PROBE state via neigh_update(), perhaps received
from userspace, correctly (re)initialize the probes count to zero.
This is useful for forcing revalidation of a neighbor (for example
if the host is attempting to do DNA [IPv4 4436, IPv6 6059]).
[2] Notify listeners when a neighbor goes into NUD_PROBE state.
By sending notifications on entry to NUD_PROBE state listeners get
more timely warnings of imminent connectivity issues.
The current notifications on entry to NUD_STALE have somewhat
limited usefulness: NUD_STALE is a perfectly normal state, as is
NUD_DELAY, whereas notifications on entry to NUD_FAILURE come after
a neighbor reachability problem has been confirmed (typically after
three probes).
