Is there any chance you could test out the change below to see if it
helps. It seems to work on my end.

[IPVS] use msleep_interruptable() instead of ssleep() aka msleep()
Dean Manners notices that when an IPVS synchonisation daemons are
started the system load slowly climbs up to 1. This seems to be related
to the call to ssleep(1) (aka msleep(1000) in the main loop. Replacing
this with a call to msleep_interruptable() seems to make the problem go
away. Though I'm not sure that it is correct.
