The ip_vs_set_timeout function sets timeouts for TCP and UDP, which
can be enabled independently at compile time. The debug message
always prints both timeouts that are passed into the function,
but if one is disabled, the message will show uninitialized data.

This splits the debug message into two separte IP_VS_DBG statements
that are in the same #ifdef section to ensure we only print the
text about what is actually going on.

Without this patch, building ARM ixp4xx_defconfig results in:

	Are there any CONFIG_IP_VS_PROTO_xxx options in this
default config? It is a waste of memory if IPVS is compiled
without any protocols.

They all appear to be turned off:

	There are many __ip_vs_get_timeouts callers but
just one calls memset(&t, 0, sizeof(t)) before that,
problem only for ip_vs_genl_set_config and ip_vs_set_timeout.

	To be safe, can we move this memset into
__ip_vs_get_timeouts instead of playing games with defines?:

	memset(t, 0, sizeof(*t));

	This debug message will be more precise in showing the
changed values if we replace the __ip_vs_get_timeouts 
call in ip_vs_genl_set_config with memset(&t, 0, sizeof(t)).
Then we will see 0 for values that are not changed/supported.

ipvs: initialize returned data in do_ip_vs_get_ctl

As reported by a gcc warning, the do_ip_vs_get_ctl does not initalize
all the members of the ip_vs_timeout_user structure it returns if
at least one of the TCP or UDP protocols is disabled for ipvs. 

This makes sure that the data is always initialized, before it is
returned as a response to IPVS_CMD_GET_CONFIG or printed as a
debug message in IPVS_CMD_SET_CONFIG.

Without this patch, building ARM ixp4xx_defconfig results in:
