Yes, ip_vs_conn_unlink() can see refcnt=2 or more
in which case it does not change refcnt (1->0) and conn remains
hashed. But we have to start the timer again, so the pair
atomic_inc+__ip_vs_conn_put_timer is used. It looks safe
to call __ip_vs_conn_get, atomic_inc_not_zero will work
in this case because while in timer callback refcnt can not
go below 1, even if other CPUs call ip_vs_conn_unhash+
ip_vs_conn_hash. But atomic_inc is better.
