The following patch fixes a problem where output from /proc/net/arp
skips a record when the full output does not fit into the users read()
buffer.

To reproduce: publish a large number of ARP entries (more than 10
required on my system). Run 'dd if=/proc/net/arp of=arp-1024.out
bs=1024'. View the output, one entry will be missing.

Please review and commit if acceptable.
