Revert "ipv4: arp announce, arp_proxy and windows ip conflict verification"

Browse Source 
This reverts commit 73ce7b01b4.

After discovering that we don't listen to gratuitious arps in 2.6.30
I tracked the failure down to this commit.

The patch makes absolutely no sense.  RFC2131 RFC3927 and RFC5227.
are all in agreement that an arp request with sip == 0 should be used
for the probe (to prevent learning) and an arp request with sip == tip
should be used for the gratitous announcement that people can learn
from.

It appears the author of the broken patch got those two cases confused
and modified the code to drop all gratuitous arp traffic.  Ouch!
