ipvs: don't ignore errors in case refcounting ip_vs module fails

if the IPVS module is removed while the sync daemon is starting, there is
a small gap where try_module_get() might fail getting the refcount inside
ip_vs_use_count_inc(). Then, the refcounts of IPVS module are unbalanced,
and the subsequent call to stop_sync_thread() causes the following splat:

Check the return value of ip_vs_use_count_inc() and let its caller return
proper error. Inside do_ip_vs_set_ctl() the module is already refcounted,
we don't need refcount/derefcount there. Finally, in register_ip_vs_app()
and start_sync_thread(), take the module refcount earlier and ensure it's
released in the error path.

Change since v1:
 - better return values in case of failure of ip_vs_use_count_inc(),
   thanks to Julian Anastasov
 - no need to increase/decrease the module refcount in ip_vs_set_ctl(),
   thanks to Julian Anastasov
