Subject: [rfc] IPVS: convert scheduler management to RCU

Signed-off-by: Simon Horman <horms@...ge.net.au>

--- 

I'm still getting my head around RCU, so review would be greatly appreciated.

It occurs to me that this code is not performance critical, so
perhaps simply replacing the rwlock with a spinlock would be better?
