net: neighbour: Remove CONFIG_ARPD 

This config option is superfluous in that it only guards a call
to neigh_app_ns(). Enabling CONFIG_ARPD by default has no
change in behavior. There will now be call to __neigh_notify()
for each ARP resolution, which has no impact unless there is a
user space daemon waiting to receive the notification, i.e.,
the case for which CONFIG_ARPD was designed anyways.

config ARPD
bool "IP: ARP daemon support"
---help---
The kernel maintains an internal cache which maps IP addresses to
hardware addresses on the local network, so that Ethernet
frames are sent to the proper address on the physical networking
layer. Normally, kernel uses the ARP protocol to resolve these
mappings.
Saying Y here adds support to have an user space daemon to do this
resolution instead. This is useful for implementing an alternate
address resolution protocol (e.g. NHRP on mGRE tunnels) and also for
testing purposes.
If unsure, say N.
