ip neigh: Fix memory leak when doing 'get'

With the following command sequence:

ip link add dummy0 type dummy
ip neigh add 192.168.0.1 dev dummy0
ip neigh get 192.168.0.1 dev dummy0

when running the last command under valgrind, it reports

32,768 bytes in 1 blocks are definitely lost in loss record 2 of 2
