When set to zero, the neighbor sysctl proxy_delay value
does not cause an immediate reply for ARP/ND requests
as expected, it instead causes a random delay between
[0, U32_MAX). Looking at this comment from
__get_random_u32_below() explains the reason:

Potential behavior change, can we wait 4 weeks, until it's been
in a couple of -rcs?

Ack, will revisit this later. Thanks!
