Are there any CONFIG_IP_VS_PROTO_xxx options in this
default config? It is a waste of memory if IPVS is compiled
without any protocols.

There are many __ip_vs_get_timeouts callers but
just one calls memset(&t, 0, sizeof(t)) before that,
problem only for ip_vs_genl_set_config and ip_vs_set_timeout.

To be safe, can we move this memset into
__ip_vs_get_timeouts instead of playing games with defines?:

memset(t, 0, sizeof(*t));

This debug message will be more precise in showing the
changed values if we replace the __ip_vs_get_timeouts
call in ip_vs_genl_set_config with memset(&t, 0, sizeof(t)).
Then we will see 0 for values that are not changed/supported.
