Update 'confirmed' timestamp when ARP packet is received. It shouldn't
affect locktime logic and anyway entry can be confirmed by any higher-layer
protocol. Thus it makes sense to confirm it when ARP packet is received.
Fixes: 77d7123342 ("neighbour: update neigh timestamps iff update is effective")

v2: - update comment to match new code.
v3: - fix wording in commit message, make 'Fixes' tag one line, remove extra
new line
between 'Fixes' and 'Signed-off-by'.
