If the neigh table's entries is less than gc_thresh1, the function
will return directly, and the reachabletime will not be recompute,
so the reachabletime can be guessed.

It looks like this bug was unintentionally introduced by:

commit 2724680bceee94eac391552863771af105a7355c

    neigh: Keep neighbour cache entries if number of them is small enough.

Applied and queued up for -stable, thanks!
