PATCH 1/1 : Add a comment describing what a NUD stands for.
When I studied the neighbor code I puzzled over what the NUD can mean for quite a long time.
Finally I asked Alexey and he said that this was smth like "neighbor unreachability detection".
Does it worth adding a comment helping future developers understand what's going on?

NUD is a common acronym in the IPV6 RFCs and various books on the topic, but it doesn't hurt to add this comment so I applied this patch thanks.
