This reverts commit 71b29dc.

These parameters were delivered as part of an optimization and sets aggressive kernel neighbor cache parameters, including net.ipv4.neigh.default.ucast_solicit=0. This causes the kernel to never perform unicast ARP probes for stale neighbor entries, forcing immediate re-resolution via broadcast ARP. On VLAN sub-interfaces with low-frequency traffic (e.g., routing protocol keepalives), this creates repeated neighbor cache invalidation and packet loss.
