Looks like an old bug...

When ip_vs_conn_put is called for IP_VS_CONN_F_ONE_PACKET
it is possible to call ip_vs_conn_expire and to free cp with
ip_vs_conn_rcu_free immediately. What we can do is to avoid the
ip_vs_conn_expire_now call in such case by reading the flags
early (as above) and adding the needed check (as below).

Add !(flags & IP_VS_CONN_F_ONE_PACKET) check in above 'if'.
