[PATCH net v2 2/2] ipvs: reject FTP control ports as data ports

[Zihan Xi]

ip_vs_ftp_out() creates a wildcard data connection from the
server-advertised passive port. If that port is one of the configured FTP
control ports, ip_vs_conn_new() binds the FTP helper to the new connection
again. A subsequent wildcard lookup can then extend a controlled-connection
chain.

Reject zero and configured control ports before creating passive
connections. For active mode, reject a zero client port and a data port
derived from a configured control port.

changes in v2:
  - Reject the data port derived from a configured control port in
    ip_vs_ftp_in() to cover the active-mode bypass.
