[LLDP]: Modify OID index of LLDPRemTableUpdater MIB (#155)

SuvarnaMeenakshi · web-flow · commit b5815d9a3ef3 · 2020-08-03T11:17:37.000-07:00
* [LLDP]: LLDPRemTableUpdater index in OID is a tuple of
(if index, remote time mark, remote device index).
In case of multi-asic platform, when querying this MIB it can happen
that same if index result is seen in SNMP walk, with a different
remote time mark. To avoid showing same if index result in the
result, set remote time mark to 0.
* Add code comment.
