[ofa-general] [PATCH] ib/ipoib: handle Gratuitous ARP & bonding failover race also for connected mode neighbours

move a little up the code that checks for a situation where the remote GID stored in the ipoib_neigh is
different than the one present in the neighbour (handle Gratuitous ARP) or that a bonding fail over has
happened but the neighbour still has a pointer to an ipoib_neigh created not by the current slave. This
will cause the driver to apply the check also for connected mode neighbours.

I have tested this patch on 2.6.24-rc1 (and its now in progress for 2.6.24-rc8)
things are basically working fine, but I do want to play more with bonding fail-overs
to make sure nothing was broken wrt to Gratuitous ARP etc, will let you know.
