Fixed race condition at ip_vs.ko module init.
Lists were initialized after the module was registered. Multiple ipvsadm processes at module load triggered a race condition that resulted in a null pointer dereference in do_ip_vs_get_ctl(). As a result, __ip_vs_mutex was left locked preventing all further ipvsadm commands. Signed-off-by: Eduardo J. Blanco <ejblanco@google.com> Signed-off-by: Simon Horman <horms@verge.net.au>
