[ Upstream commite4400bbf5b] The NTF_EXT_LEARNED neigh flag is usually propagated back to user space upon dump of the neighbor table. However, when used in combination with NTF_USE flag this is not the case despite exempting the entry from the garbage collector. This results in inconsistent state since entries are typically marked in neigh->flags with NTF_EXT_LEARNED, but here they are not. Fix it by propagating the creation flag to ___neigh_create().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
