syzbot reports for sleeping function called from invalid context [1].
The recently added code for resizable hash tables uses
hlist_bl bit locks in combination with spin_lock for
the connection fields (cp->lock).
Fix the following problems:
* avoid using spin_lock(&cp->lock) under locked bit lock
because it sleeps on PREEMPT_RT
* as the recent changes call ip_vs_conn_hash() only for newly
allocated connection, the spin_lock can be removed there because
the connection is still not linked to table and does not need
cp->lock protection.
* the lock can be removed also from ip_vs_conn_unlink() where we
are the last connection user.
* the last place that is fixed is ip_vs_conn_fill_cport()
where now the cp->lock is locked before the other locks to
ensure other packets do not modify the cp->flags in non-atomic
way. Here we make sure cport and flags are changed only once
if two or more packets race to fill the cport. Also, we fill
cport early, so that if we race with resizing there will be
valid cport key for the hashing. Add a warning if too many
hash table changes occur for our RCU read-side critical
section which is error condition but minor because the
connection still can expire gracefully. Still, restore the
cport to 0 to allow retransmitted packet to properly fill
the cport. Problems reported by Sashiko.
