At this point idx_svc is incremented and we
stop at the middle of dest list, so we need ctx->idx_svc-- too.
And now what happens if all dests can not fit in a packet?
We should start next packet with the same svc? And then
user space should merge the dests when multiple packets
start with same service?
The main points are:
- the virtual services are in hash table, their order is
not important, user space can sort them
- order of dests in a service is important for the schedulers
- every packet should contain info for svc, so that we can
properly add dests to the right svc

last_svc is used out of __ip_vs_mutex region,
so it is not safe. We can get a reference count but this
is bad if user space blocks.
But even if we use just indexes it should be ok.
If multiple agents are used in parallel it is not our
problem. What can happen is that we can send duplicates
or to skip entries (both svcs and dests). It is impossible
to keep any kind of references to current entries or even
keys to lookup them if another agent can remove them.
