[IPVS]: Close race conditions on ip_vs_conn_tab list modification

In an smp system, it is possible for an connection timer to expire, calling
ip_vs_conn_expire while the connection table is being flushed, before
ct_write_lock_bh is acquired.

Since the list iterator loop in ip_vs_con_flush releases and re-acquires the
spinlock (even though it doesn't re-enable softirqs), it is possible for the
expiration function to modify the connection list, while it is being traversed
in ip_vs_conn_flush.

The result is that the next pointer gets set to NULL, and subsequently
dereferenced, resulting in an oops.
