The neigh_hash_grow() may update the tbl->hash_rnd value, which 
is used in all tbl->hash callbacks to calculate the hashval.

Two lookup routines may race with this, since they call the 
->hash callback without the tbl->lock held. Since the hash_rnd
is changed with this lock write-locked moving the calls to ->hash
under this lock read-locked closes this gap.
