Subject[PATCH 3/3] ipvs: flush defense_work before module unload
net/ipv4/ipvs/ip_vs_core.c

module_exit
ip_vs_cleanup
ip_vs_control_cleanup
cancel_rearming_delayed_work
// done

This is unsafe. The module may be unloaded and the memory may be freed while
defense_work's handler is still running/preempted.

Do flush_work(&defense_work.work) after cancel_rearming_delayed_work().

Alternatively, we could add flush_work() to cancel_rearming_delayed_work(),
but note that we can't change cancel_delayed_work() in the same manner because
it may be called from atomic context.
