vrrp: improve RFC compliance for ARP/ND
Type: fix The ARP/ND feature nodes reply to requests for a VR virtual IP address when a VR is in the master state. If the VR is in the backup state, the request is passed to the next node on the feature arc. This can cause an incorrect response to be sent. If some other feature (e.g. NAT) causes a virtual IP address to be configured as a "local" address on the system, a later node on the feature arc may respond to an ARP/ND request with the real MAC address of the interface. RFC 5798 says that a router must respond to ARP/ND requests for VR virtual IP addresses with the VR virtual MAC address. And it says a router must not respond to ARP/ND requests for VR virtual IP addresses when the VR is in the backup state. Ensure that ARP/ND requests for VR virtual IP addresses are dropped when in the backup state rather than allowing them to continue on the feature arc where another node may end up responding. In order to do this, enable/disable the feature nodes when leaving or entering the init state instead of the master state.
