Deferral of a packet for neighbour discovery is not really an error. If we fail to discover a neighbour then the failure will eventually be reported by the call to neighbour_destroy() when any outstanding I/O buffers are discarded. The current behaviour breaks PXE booting on FreeBSD, which seems to treat the error return from PXENV_UDP_WRITE as a fatal error and so never proceeds to poll PXENV_UDP_READ (and hence never allows iPXE to receive the ARP reply and send the deferred UDP packet). Change neighbour_tx() to return success when deferring a packet. This fixes interoperability with FreeBSD and removes transient neighbour cache misses from the "ifstat" error output, while leaving genuine neighbour discovery failures visible via "ifstat" (once neighbour discovery times out, or the interface is closed).
