ipvs: fix crash if scheduler is changed
commit 05f00505 upstream. I overlooked the svc->sched_data usage from schedulers when the services were converted to RCU in 3.10. Now the rare ipvsadm -E command can change the scheduler but due to the reverse order of ip_vs_bind_scheduler and ip_vs_unbind_scheduler we provide new sched_data to the old scheduler resulting in a crash. To fix it without changing the scheduler methods we have to use synchronize_rcu() only for the editing case. It means all svc->scheduler readers should expect a NULL value. To avoid breakage for the service listing and ipvsadm -R we can use the "none" name to indicate that scheduler is not assigned, a state when we drop new connections.
