4.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Eric Dumazet <[email protected]> [ Upstream commit 48481c8fa16410ffa45939b13b6c53c2ca609e5f ] Dmitry posted a nice reproducer of a bug triggering in neigh_probe() when dereferencing a NULL neigh->ops->solicit method. This can happen for arp_direct_ops/ndisc_direct_ops and similar, which can be used for NUD_NOARP neighbours (created when dev->header_ops is NULL). Admin can then force changing nud_state to some other state that would fire neigh timer.
