    [IPVS]: Fix state variable on failure to start ipvs threads · cc0191ae
    Neil Horman authored
    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)
