IPVS: sync thread started: state = BACKUP, mcast_ifn = syz_tun, syncid = 4, id

IPVS: stopping backup sync thread 25415 ...
INFO: task syz-executor7:25421 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

	I think, I know what happens: start_sync_thread holds
rtnl_lock while calling kthread_stop on error. The backup kthread is
signalled and it tries to rtnl_lock in sock_release => lockup.
I think, my fix will solve both reports, only that there is no
reproducer for this one to test the fix with test command.
