ipvs: Explictly clear ip_vs_stats members
In order to align the coding styles of ip_vs_zero_stats() and
its child-function ip_vs_zero_estimator(), clear ip_vs_stats
members explicitlty rather than doing a limited memset().
This was chosen over modifying ip_vs_zero_estimator() to use
memset() as it is more robust against changes in members
in the relevant structures. memset() would be prefered if
all members of the structure were to be cleared.

ipvs: Embed estimator object into stats object
There's no reason for dynamically allocating an estimator object for every
stats object. Directly embed an estimator object into every stats object and
switch to using the kernel-provided list implementation. This makes the code
much simpler and faster, as we do not need to traverse the list of all
estimators to find the one belonging to a stats object. There's no need to use
an rwlock, as we only have one reader. Also reorder the members of the
estimator structure slightly to avoid padding overhead. This can't be done
with the stats object as the members are currently copied to our user space
object via memcpy() and changing it would break ABI.
