During the initialization of arp_tbl, the enumeration constant name
NEIGH_VAR_INTERVAL_PROBE_TIME_MS in the statement
arp_tbl.parms.data[NEIGH_VAR_INTERVAL_PROBE_TIME_MS] = 5*HZ does not
align with its actual meaning (jiffies).
I think the macro name NEIGH_VAR_INTERVAL_PROBE_TIME is just meant to correspond

to the configuration item neigh/default/interval_probe_time_ms.



Using NEIGH_VAR_INTERVAL_PROBE_TIME is a better naming choice.

Do not carry Fixes tag since it's not a fix. On the other hand, it is a merge commit not a regular commit...
