Subject: [PATCH] ipvs: fix dst_lock locking on dest update

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

	Fix dst_lock usage in __ip_vs_update_dest. We need
_bh locking because destination is updated in user context.
Can cause lockups on frequent destination updates.
Problem reported by Simon Kirby. Bug was introduced
in 2.6.37 from the "ipvs: changes for local real server"
change.
