[PATCH 5/5] net/netfilter/ipvs: Eliminate memory leak

From: Julia Lawall <redacted>

__ip_vs_service_get and __ip_vs_svc_fwm_get increment a reference count, so
that reference count should be decremented before leaving the function in an
error case.

A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@r exists@
local idexpression x;
expression E;
identifier f1;
iterator I;
@@

x = __ip_vs_service_get(...);
<... when != x
     when != true (x == NULL || ...)
     when != if (...) { <+...x...+> }
     when != I (...) { <+...x...+> }
(
 x == NULL
|
 x == E
|
 x->f1
)
...>
* return ...;
// </smpl>
