SIP persistence engine - incorrect search of callid header

Hello,

the IPVS SIP persistence engine is not able to parse the SIP header
“Call-ID” when such header is inserted in the first positions of the
SIP message.

When IPVS is configured with '--pe sip' option (ex. ipvsadm -A -u
10.0.2.15:5060 -s rr --pe sip -p 120 -o), you can verify that messages
like this one do not create entries in the connection template table
(ipvsadm -Lcn --persistent-conn), .

SIP/2.0 200 OK
Call-ID: a84b4c76e66710@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Instead when the “Call-ID” is positioned down (after “From” header for
example), the header is recognized.

This is due to the data offset used in get_callid function call inside
ip_vs_pe_sip.c file: since dptr already points to the start of the SIP
message, the value of dataoff should be initially 0. Otherwise the
header is searched starting from some bytes after the first character
of the SIP message.

This patch , in my tests, solved the problem. I'm using the sources of
kernel 3.10.0-229.20.1.el7.x86_64 (RH7).
