The following use of nullable_string_is_equal in tnl_neigh_flush() seems
odd to me.  I don't see a caller to tnl_neigh_flush() that could pass
NULL, so the 'br_name' argument in nonnull.  neigh->br_name is an array,
not a pointer, so it is also always nonnull.  Why not use strcmp()?

Otherwise, this looks good, thank you.  I'll look forward to v3.
