From: Roman Mashak <mrv@xxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 38212bb31fe923d0a2c6299bd2adfbb84cddef2a ] When a new neighbor entry has been added, event is generated but it does not include protocol, because its value is assigned after the event notification routine has run, so move protocol assignment code earlier.
