estimation_timer will iterate the est_list to do estimation
for each ipvs stats. When there are lots of services, the
list can be very large.
We found that estimation_timer() run for more then 200ms on a
machine with 104 CPU and 50K services.

yunhong-cgl jiang report the same phenomenon before:
https://www.spinics.net/lists/lvs-devel/msg05426.html

In some cases(for example a large K8S cluster with many ipvs services),
ipvs estimation may not be needed. So adding a sysctl blob to allow
users to disable this completely.

Default is: 1 (enable)

<title>ipvs: queue delayed work to expire no destination connections if expire_nodest_conn=1</title>

When expire_nodest_conn=1 and a destination is deleted, IPVS does not
expire the existing connections until the next matching incoming packet.
If there are many connection entries from a single client to a single
destination, many packets may get dropped before all the connections are
expired (more likely with lots of UDP traffic). An optimization can be
made where upon deletion of a destination, IPVS queues up delayed work
to immediately expire any connections with a deleted destination. This
ensures any reused source ports from a client (within the IPVS timeouts)
are scheduled to new real servers instead of silently dropped.

<title>ipvs: allow connection reuse for unconfirmed conntrack</title>

YangYuxi is reporting that connection reuse
is causing one-second delay when SYN hits
existing connection in TIME_WAIT state.
Such delay was added to give time to expire
both the IPVS connection and the corresponding
conntrack. This was considered a rare case
at that time but it is causing problem for
some environments such as Kubernetes.

As nf_conntrack_tcp_packet() can decide to
release the conntrack in TIME_WAIT state and
to replace it with a fresh NEW conntrack, we
can use this to allow rescheduling just by
tuning our check: if the conntrack is
confirmed we can not schedule it to different
real server and the one-second delay still
applies but if new conntrack was created,
we are free to select new real server without
any delays.

YangYuxi lists some of the problem reports:

- One second connection delay in masquerading mode:
https://marc.info/?t=151683118100004&amp;r=1&amp;w=2

- IPVS low throughput #70747
https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/70747

- Apache Bench can fill up ipvs service proxy in seconds #544
https://github.com/cloudnativelabs/kube-router/issues/544

- Additional 1s latency in `host -&gt; service IP -&gt; pod`
https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/90854

Keep the IPVS hooks registered in Netfilter only
while there are configured virtual services. This
saves CPU cycles while IPVS is loaded but not used.

The only slightly tricky merge conflict was the netdevsim because the
mutex locking fix overlapped a lot of driver reload reorganization.

The rest were (relatively) trivial in nature.
