Yes, as ip_vs_conn_expire() now can be called both in
timer and process context we need a reference for ct while
calling del_timer() in ip_vs_conn_del_put(). As ct->n_control
is 0 after our ip_vs_control_del(), ct can be expired by
timer while we are trying to del it here.

Now we do not get reference to cp because in RCU
section the cp structure can not go away. So, we have an
implicit reference to cp. Same for its cp->control (ct).
The conn structures are freed later in RCU callback.
In this case we may run del_timer() after
another CPU, eg. after ip_vs_conn_expire() was already
called after timer expire or after ip_vs_conn_del*(). But
for us del_timer will not succeed.
