arp: filter NOARP neighbours for SIOCGARP



When arp is off on a device, and ioctl(SIOCGARP) is queried,
a buggy answer is given with MAC address of the device, instead
of the mac address of the destination/gateway.

We filter out NUD_NOARP neighbours for /proc/net/arp,
we must do the same for SIOCGARP ioctl.

Tested:

lpaa23:~# ./arp 10.246.7.190
MAC=00:01:e8:22:cb:1d      // correct answer

lpaa23:~# ip link set dev eth0 arp off
lpaa23:~# cat /proc/net/arp   # check arp table is now 'empty'
IP address       HW type     Flags       HW address    Mask     Device
lpaa23:~# ./arp 10.246.7.190
MAC=00:1a:11:c3:0d:7f   // buggy answer before patch (this is eth0 mac)

After patch :

lpaa23:~# ip link set dev eth0 arp off
lpaa23:~# ./arp 10.246.7.190
ioctl(SIOCGARP) failed: No such device or address
