The patch checks neigh->nud_state before acquiring the writer lock.
Note that rt6_probe() is only used in CONFIG_IPV6_ROUTER_PREF.

40 udpflood processes and a /64 gateway route are used.
The gateway has NUD_PERMANENT.  Each of them is run for 30s.
At the end, the total number of finished sendto():

Before: 55M
After: 95M

I think it is better to describe why it is okay without any locks.
