ipvs: properly zero stats and rates
Currently, the new percpu counters are not zeroed and the zero commands do not work as expected, we still show the old sum of percpu values. OTOH, we can not reset the percpu counters from user context without causing the incrementing to use old and bogus values. So, as Eric Dumazet suggested fix that by moving all overhead to stats reading in user context. Do not introduce overhead in timer context (estimator) and incrementing (packet handling in softirqs). The new ustats0 field holds the zero point for all counter values, the rates always use 0 as base value as before. When showing the values to user space just give the difference between counters and the base values. The only drawback is that percpu stats are not zeroed, they are accessible only from /proc and are new interface, so it should not be a compatibility problem as long as the sum stats are correct after zeroing.
