do_ip_vs_set_ctl() is referencing uninitialized stack value when `len` is
zero. Fix it.
Which exact 'cmd' is it here?

I _guess_ it is one of those uninitialized in set_arglen[], which is 0.
Yes, it was `IP_VS_SO_SET_NONE`, implicitly initialized to zero.
But if that is the case, should it be initialized to
sizeof(struct ip_vs_service_user) instead because ip_vs_copy_usvc_compat()
is called anyway. Or, maybe we should just ban len==0 case.
I see. I think the latter would be easier, but we cannot ban all of
them, since the function does something with `IP_VS_SO_SET_FLUSH`, which
is a `len == 0` case.

Maybe we do something like this?

Thank you,

In either case, it does not look like you fix it correctly.

Thanks.
