	Can we use svc_table and svc_fwm_table for the table names?

	__ip_vs_service_find and __ip_vs_svc_fwm_find: match
by svc->ipvs is not needed anymore. There are other svc->ipvs == ipvs
checks in this file.

	This reverts speedups from commit 5d5a0815f854 but with some
reordering we probably can remove the mutex completely as part from
further optimizations.

	Looks like with global notifier we have a problem where 
ip_vs_dst_event() can not know if net->ipvs is not in process
of freeing from another CPU. The global __ip_vs_mutex helped
to avoid the problem, if we see svc then svc->ipvs is valid.
But now even the ipvs->dest_trash_lock access looks under risk.
Probably, we should switch to register_netdevice_notifier_net,
so that ip_vs_dst_event() can safely work with the ipvs struct.
At first look, unregister_netdevice_notifier_net() should be
called in ip_vs_control_net_cleanup() just after the
ip_vs_trash_cleanup() call. A drawback is that when we unregister
from netns exit context __unregister_netdevice_notifier_net()
still calls call_netdevice_unregister_net_notifiers, something
that we do not want. May be we can silence these events with
some new wrapper/parameter.

	We can change iter->table to int table_id, 0 (ip_vs_svc_table)
and 1 (ip_vs_svc_fwm_table), for all these ip_vs_info_* funcs.

	While do_ip_vs_get_ctl is a reader that can block we
can not use RCU but in ip_vs_genl_dump_services() we can replace
the __ip_vs_mutex with rcu_read_lock because we just fill the skb.

	In ip_vs_genl_dump_dests() we can use RCU too but there
will be probably double rcu_read_lock in ip_vs_genl_parse_service(),
so rcu_read_lock can be moved into the top caller.

	ip_vs_genl_get_cmd is another place that we can use RCU.

	Note that ip_vs_est.c uses __ip_vs_mutex too, it should be
changed to service_mutex. Do not keep __ip_vs_mutex anymore.

	Also, there is more work if we want independent
namespaces and to give power to users:

- account memory: GFP_KERNEL -> GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT

- the connections table is still global but it should be possible
to make all tables per-net and to grow on load from NULL to max bits

- convert GENL_ADMIN_PERM -> GENL_UNS_ADMIN_PERM and make
sysctls visible to other namespaces

	If the plan is to have multiple netns loaded with many
conns may be I can follow your patch with more optimization
patches.
