ipvs: Fix possible deadlock in estimator code
There is a slight chance for a deadlock in the estimator code. We can't call
del_timer_sync() while holding our lock, as the timer might be active and
spinning for the lock on another cpu. Work around this issue by using
try_to_del_timer_sync() and releasing the lock. We could actually delete the
timer outside of our lock, as the add and kill functions are only every called
from userspace via [gs]etsockopt() and are serialized by a mutex, but better
make this explicit.
