Subject: [PATCH v2 net] ipvs: prevent integer overflow in do_ip_vs_get_ctl()

The get->num_services variable is an unsigned int which is controlled by
the user.  The struct_size() function ensures that the size calculation
does not overflow an unsigned long, however, we are saving the result to
an int so the calculation can overflow.

Both "len" and "get->num_services" come from the user.  This check is
just a sanity check to help the user and ensure they are using the API
correctly.  An integer overflow here is not a big deal.  This has no
security impact.

Save the result from struct_size() type size_t to fix this integer
overflow bug.

v2: fix %lu vs %zu in the printk().  It breaks the build on 32bit
    systems.
    Remove the CC stable.
