net/netlink/netlink_route.c: Add Netlink socket NETLINK_ROUTE support for getting a snopshot of the Neighbor table.
net/neighbor/neighbor_snapshot.c: Add neighbor_snapshot() that will eventually be used by the Netlink sockets. Also fixed naming violation 'struct neighbor_entry' -> 'struct neighbor_entry_s'.
include/nuttx/net/neighbor.h: Expose format of the IPv6 neighbor table for use with Netlink sockets.
1) The change of commit ed9fe70024 left some dangling logic and incorrect, confusing comments. Prior to that commit the 'pstate' variable was non-NULL only when doing a lingering close. Comments to this effect as well as tests of pstate should also have been updated. These are confusing and inappropriate, but do not lead to incorrect behavior.
2) Eliminate an incomplete test when a disconnection event. When a disconnection event occurs, the close logic MUST always terminate the wait. The conditional test was not incorrect, however, it lacked 'else' logic and would simply ignore that disconnection event in some cases. That is bad because there may not be another disconnection event and that can lead to hangs (or at least very, very long delays).
1. For buffered tcp/udp case, if CONFIG_NET_ARP_SEND/CONFIG_NET_ARP_IPIN/CONFIG_NET_ICMPv6_NEIGHBOR isn't enabled and the table doesn't contain ip<->ethaddr mapping yet, the logic will skip the realtransmission and then arp/neighbor can't steal the final buffer to generate arp/icmpv6 packet.
2.for all other case, the tcp layer or user program should already contain the retransmit logic, the check is redundancy and may generate many duplicated packets if arp/icmpv6 response is too slow because the cursor stop forward. If user still concern about the very first packet lost, he could fix the issue by enabling CONFIG_NET_ARP_SEND/CONFIG_NET_ICMPv6_NEIGHBOR at begin.

Iobinstrumentation
* mm/iob: Introduces producer/consumer id to every iob call. This is so that the calls can be instrumented to monitor the IOB resources.
* iob instrumentation - Merges producer/consumer enumeration for simpler IOB user.
* fs/procfs: Starts adding support for /proc/iobinfo
* fs/procfs: Finishes first pass of simple IOB user stastics and /proc/iobinfo entry

net/ipforward: Check if interface is up early on when forwarding to avoid extra work.
As noticed in a previous wireless commit, when forwarding is enabled and a packet comes in, the packet is attempted to be sent on each other netdev without regard for whether it is in the UP state. Of course this is eventually caught, but it can be caught earlier to avoid unnecessary work, especially in the 6LoWPAN case where a useless packet conversion will occur.

net/udp: Remove net stack dependency from CONFIG_NET_BROADCAST
This change allows us to use CONFIG_NET_BROADCAST without network
stack. (i.e. usrsock application can use broadcast)
