Subject: [PATCH 02/20] ipvs: avoid rcu_barrier during netns cleanup

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

commit 578bc3ef1e473a ("ipvs: reorganize dest trash") added
rcu_barrier() on cleanup to wait dest users and schedulers
like LBLC and LBLCR to put their last dest reference.
Using rcu_barrier with many namespaces is problematic.

Trying to fix it by freeing dest with kfree_rcu is not
a solution, RCU callbacks can run in parallel and execution
order is random.

Fix it by creating new function ip_vs_dest_put_and_free()
which is heavier than ip_vs_dest_put(). We will use it just
for schedulers like LBLC, LBLCR that can delay their dest
release.

By default, dests reference is above 0 if they are present in
service and it is 0 when deleted but still in trash list.
Change the dest trash code to use ip_vs_dest_put_and_free(),
so that refcnt -1 can be used for freeing. As result,
such checks remain in slow path and the rcu_barrier() from
netns cleanup can be removed.
