qeth: Drop ARP packages on HiperSockets interface with NOARP attribute.
A network interface can get ARP packets even when the interface has NOARP specified. In a HiperSockets environment this disturbs receiving systems when packets are sent on the multicast queue. (E.g. TCP/IP on z/VM issues messages reporting invalid data on the HiperSockets interface.) Qeth will no longer send ARP packets on HiperSockets interface when interface has the NOARP attribute.
