[PATCH] ipvs: fix dst_lock locking on dest update

        Fix dst_lock usage in __ip_vs_update_dest. We need
_bh locking because destination is updated in user context.
Can cause lockups on frequent destination updates.
Problem reported by Simon Kirby. Bug was introduced
in 2.6.37 from the "ipvs: changes for local real server"
change.

        Dave, please apply to net-2.6.
Patch is for 2.6.37+ and applies to 2.6.38-rc6. There is
little fuzz when applying to net-next, let me know if
I should provide patch for other trees.
