    Add ability to return neighbour proxies list to caller if
    it sent full ndmsg structure and has NTF_PROXY flag set.
    
    Before this patch (and before iproute2 patches):
    $ ip neigh add proxy 2001::1 dev eth0
    $ ip -6 neigh show
    $
    
    After it and with applied iproute2 patches:
    $ ip neigh add proxy 2001::1 dev eth0
    $ ip -6 neigh show
    2001::1 dev eth0  proxy
    $
    
    Compatibility with old versions of iproute2 is not broken,
    kernel checks for incoming structure size and properly
    works if old structure is came.
    
    [v2]
    * changed comments style.
    * removed useless line with continue and curly bracket.
    * changed incoming message size check from equal to more or
      equal.
