Subject: [PATCH 5/9] ipvs: use adaptive pause in master thread

From: Julian Anastasov <ja@....bg>

	High rate of sync messages in master can lead to
overflowing the socket buffer and dropping the messages.
Instead of using fixed pause try to adapt to the sync
rate, so that we do not wakeup too often while at the same
time staying below the socket buffer limit.
