The ip_vs_ctl.c file and the associated ip_vs.h file are the only places
in the kernel where HK_TYPE_KTHREAD cpumask is being retrieved and used.
Now that HK_TYPE_KTHREAD/HK_TYPE_DOMAIN cpumask can be changed at run
time. We need to use RCU to guard access to this cpumask to avoid a
potential UAF problem as the returned cpumask may be freed before it
is being used.

We can replace HK_TYPE_KTHREAD by HK_TYPE_DOMAIN as they are aliases
of each other, but keeping the HK_TYPE_KTHREAD name can highlight the
fact that it is the kthread initiated by ipvs that is being controlled.
