[nsp] HSRP failing under high CPU load

[Sam Stickland]

I recall something see like this a month or two back (the backup routers CPU
load had gone skyhigh when it was configured with another syslog server
:/ ). The backup routers HSRP state started flapping between active and
standby. But this was under pretty much 100% load. I assumed the hellos
weren't getting processed.
