H A Dneighbour.c9c29a2f5 Tue Dec 11 19:57:21 CST 2018 David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> neighbor: Fix locking order for gc_list changes

Lock checker noted an inverted lock order between neigh_change_state
(neighbor lock then table lock) and neigh_periodic_work (table lock and
then neighbor lock) resulting in:

[ 121.057652] ======================================================
[ 121.058740] WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected

Fix by renaming neigh_change_state to neigh_update_gc_list, changing
it to only manage whether an entry should be on the gc_list and taking
locks in the same order as neigh_periodic_work. Invoke at the end of
neigh_update only if diff between old or new states has the PERMANENT
flag set.

Fixes: 8cc196d6ef86 ("neighbor: gc_list changes should be protected by table lock")
