ndp_timer() is called right away on the first epoll_wait() cycle,
when the communication channel to the guest isn't ready yet:
1.0038: NDP: sending unsolicited RA, next in 264s
1.0038: tap: failed to send 1 frames of 1
check that it's up before sending it. This effectively delays the
first gratuitous router advertisement, which is probably a good idea
given that we expect the guest to send a router solicitation right
away.
