Subject: [PATCH 2/3] ipvs: add missing lock in ip_vs_ftp_init_conn()

We met a kernel panic in 2.6.32.43 kernel:

rax and rdx is LIST_POISON1 and LIST_POISON2, so kernel is list_del() on an already deleted
connection and result the general protect fault.

The "request for already hashed" warning, told us someone might change the connection flags
incorrectly, like described in commit aea9d711, it changes the connection flags, but doesn't
put the connection back to the list. So ip_vs_conn_hash() throw a warning and return.
Later, when ip_vs_conn_expire fire again, ip_vs_conn_unhash() will find the HASHED connection
and list_del() it, then kernel panic happened.

After code review, the only chance that kernel change connection flag without protection is
in ip_vs_ftp_init_conn().
