4a15044a2b ipvs: add conn_max sysctl to limit connections
Currently, we are using atomic_t to track the number of
connections. On 64-bit setups with large memory there is
a risk this counter to overflow. Also, setups with many
containers may need to tune the limit for connections.

Add sysctl control to limit the number of connections to
1,073,741,824 (64-bit) and 16,777,216 (32-bit).
Depending on the admin's privilege, the value is
used to change a soft or hard limit allowing
unprivileged admins to change the soft limit in
range determined by privileged admins.

c95c07836f netfilter: ipvs: Fix reuse connection if RS weight is 0
We are changing expire_nodest_conn to work even for reused connections when
conn_reuse_mode=0, just as what was done with commit dc7b3eb900 ("ipvs:
Fix reuse connection if real server is dead").

For controlled and persistent connections, the new connection will get the
needed real server depending on the rules in ip_vs_check_template().

Fixes: d752c36457 ("ipvs: allow rescheduling of new connections when port reuse is detected")

2232642ec3 ipvs: add sysctl_run_estimation to support disable estimation
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)
