two nodes livelock sending neighbor solicitations back and forth between each other

[benpicco]

Description

Two nodes are connected over an ethos link.
After a while they will send neighbor solicitations back and forth, trying to determine the l2 address of the other node.
This keeps failing but the attempt to send an unreachable message (?) keeps the process going.

Steps to reproduce the issue

Yet unknown
