BUG: ne comparison returns False for NA and other value
returning True here makes more sense than False for !=
pre-commit.ci autofix Thanks @phofl  Owee, I'm MrMeeseeks, Look at me.

There seem to be a conflict, please backport manually. Here are approximate instructions:

1. Checkout backport branch and update it.

```
git checkout 2.1.x
git pull
```

2. Cherry pick the first parent branch of the this PR on top of the older branch:
```
git cherry-pick -x -m1 c369d93cf7c82455bd3dd98233c7c09d8c567025
```

3. You will likely have some merge/cherry-pick conflict here, fix them and commit:

```
git commit -am 'Backport PR #56123: BUG: ne comparison returns False for NA and other value'
```

4. Push to a named branch:

```
git push YOURFORK 2.1.x:auto-backport-of-pr-56123-on-2.1.x
```

5. Create a PR against branch 2.1.x, I would have named this PR:

> "Backport PR #56123 on branch 2.1.x (BUG: ne comparison returns False for NA and other value)"

And apply the correct labels and milestones.

Congratulations — you did some good work! Hopefully your backport PR will be tested by the continuous integration and merged soon!

Remember to remove the `Still Needs Manual Backport` label once the PR gets merged.
