ipvs: Guard access of HK_TYPE_KTHREAD cpumask with RCU
The ip_vs_ctl.c file and the associated ip_vs.h file are the only places in the kernel where HK_TYPE_KTHREAD cpumask is being retrieved and used. Now that HK_TYPE_KTHREAD/HK_TYPE_DOMAIN cpumask can be changed at run time. We need to use RCU to guard access to this cpumask to avoid a potential UAF problem as the returned cpumask may be freed before it is being used. We can replace HK_TYPE_KTHREAD by HK_TYPE_DOMAIN as they are aliases of each other, but keeping the HK_TYPE_KTHREAD name can highlight the fact that it is the kthread initiated by ipvs that is being controlled.
