ipvs: make the service replacement more robust
commit 578bc3ef ("ipvs: reorganize dest trash") added IP_VS_DEST_STATE_REMOVING flag and RCU callback named ip_vs_dest_wait_readers() to keep dests and services after removal for at least a RCU grace period. But we have the following corner cases: - we can not reuse the same dest if its service is removed while IP_VS_DEST_STATE_REMOVING is still set because another dest removal in the first grace period can not extend this period. It can happen when ipvsadm -C && ipvsadm -R is used. - dest->svc can be replaced but ip_vs_in_stats() and ip_vs_out_stats() have no explicit read memory barriers when accessing dest->svc. It can happen that dest->svc was just freed (replaced) while we use it to update the stats. We solve the problems as follows: - IP_VS_DEST_STATE_REMOVING is removed and we ensure a fixed idle period for the dest (IP_VS_DEST_TRASH_PERIOD). idle_start will remember when for first time after deletion we noticed dest->refcnt=0. Later, the connections can grab a reference while in RCU grace period but if refcnt becomes 0 we can safely free the dest and its svc. - dest->svc becomes RCU pointer. As result, we add explicit RCU locking in ip_vs_in_stats() and ip_vs_out_stats(). - __ip_vs_unbind_svc is renamed to __ip_vs_svc_put(), it now can free the service immediately or after a RCU grace period. dest->svc is not set to NULL anymore. As result, unlinked dests and their services are freed always after IP_VS_DEST_TRASH_PERIOD period, unused services are freed after a RCU grace period.
