[IPVS]: Use IP_VS_WAIT_WHILE when encessary.

Browse Source 
For architectures that don't have a volatile atomic_ts constructs like
while (atomic_read(&something)); might result in endless loops since a
barrier() is missing which forces the compiler to generate code that
actually reads memory contents.
Fix this in ipvs by using the IP_VS_WAIT_WHILE macro which resolves to
while (expr) { cpu_relax(); }
(why isn't this open coded btw?)
