    Wait 2 seconds between gratuitous ARP updates instead of 1 second
    
    An unfortunate scenario in Linux kernel may end up with no gratuitous
    ARP update being processed by network peers, resulting in connectivity
    recovery slowdown when moving an IP address between devices.

Title:
  Gratutuious ARP updates sent by Neutron L3 agent may be ignored by
  Linux peers

Status in neutron:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  An ufortunate scenario in Linux kernel explained in
  https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/760372/ may result in no gARP being
  honoured by Linux network peers. To work the kernel bug around, we may
  want to spread updates more, not to hit default kernel locktime which
  is 1s.
