Add a helper that for use in loops which read data protected by RCU and
may have a large number of iterations.  Such an example is dumping the list
of connections known to IPVS: ip_vs_conn_array() and ip_vs_conn_seq_next().

This series also updates IPVS to use the helper.

How do you want to go about merging this? Do you want to route it
through the net tree or through -tip?
I think we can have Pablo merge it into his netfilter tree.
I did so. Thanks David.
