[PATCH ipvsadm v3 2/5] ipvsadm: fix ambiguous usage error message

To: LVS Devel <lvs-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: [PATCH ipvsadm v3 2/5] ipvsadm: fix ambiguous usage error message
From: Jeremy Sowden <azazel@xxxxxxxxxx>

If `-6` is used without `-f`, the usage error message is "-6 used before
-f", which can be misconstrued as warning that both options were used but
in the wrong order.  Reword it.
