So, in order to understand this, one has to know that the ->updated
value is tested by the protocol specific neigh code, which in turn
will thus influence whether NEIGH_UPDATE_F_OVERRIDE gets set in the
call to neigh_update() or not.

Please update your commit message to explain that this is how the
locktime mechanism influences neigh_update()'s behavior.

Thank you.
