After upstream commit 5071034e4af7 ('neigh: Really delete an arp/neigh entry on "ip neigh delete" or "arp -d"'), we could delete a single FAILED neighbour entry now. But `ip neigh flush` still skip the FAILED entry.
Move the filter after first round flush so we can flush FAILED entry on fixed kernel and also do not keep retrying on old kernel.
