when neighbour table is full, dst_neigh_lookup/dst_neigh_lookup_skb will return -ENOBUFS which is absolutely non zero, while all the code in kernel which use above functions assume failure only on zero return (I did a grep), which will cause kernel panic. (for example: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54731) This patch corrects above error with smallest changes to kernel source code.
