[IPVS]: Fix state variable on failure to start ipvs threads

ip_vs currently fails to reset its ip_vs_sync_state variable if the
sync thread fails to start properly.  The result is that the kernel
will report a running daemon when their actuall is none.

If you issue the following commands:

1. ipvsadm --start-daemon master --mcast-interface bla
2. ipvsadm -L --daemon
3. ipvsadm --stop-daemon master

Assuming that bla is not an actual interface, step 2 should return no
data, but instead returns:

$ ipvsadm -L --daemon
master sync daemon (mcast=bla, syncid=0)
