From: Julian Anastasov <ja@xxxxxx> ip_vs_conn_fill_param_sync() gets in param.pe a module reference for persistence engine from __ip_vs_pe_getbyname() but forgets to put it. Problem occurs in backup for sync protocol v1 (2.6.39). Also, pe_data usually comes in sync messages for connection templates and ip_vs_conn_new() copies the pointer only in this case. Make sure pe_data is not leaked if it comes unexpectedly for normal connections. Leak can happen only if bogus messages are sent to backup server.
