net: neigh: Fix netevent NETEVENT_DELAY_PROBE_TIME_UPDATE notification
When setting a neigh related sysctl parameter, we always send a
NETEVENT_DELAY_PROBE_TIME_UPDATE netevent. For instance, when
executing
sysctl net.ipv6.neigh.wlp3s0.retrans_time_ms=2000
a NETEVENT_DELAY_PROBE_TIME_UPDATE netevent is generated.
This is caused by commit 2a4501ae18b5 ("neigh: Send a
notification when DELAY_PROBE_TIME changes"). According to the
commit's description, it was intended to generate such an event
when setting the "delay_first_probe_time" sysctl parameter.
In order to fix this, only generate this event when actually
setting the "delay_first_probe_time" sysctl parameter. This fix
should not have any unintended side-effects, because all but one
registered netevent callbacks check for other netevent event
types (the registered callbacks were obtained by grepping for
"register_netevent_notifier"). The only callback that uses the
NETEVENT_DELAY_PROBE_TIME_UPDATE event is
mlxsw_sp_router_netevent_event() (in
drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlxsw/spectrum_router.c): in case
of this event, it only accesses the DELAY_PROBE_TIME of the
passed neigh_parms.
