Subject: ipvs: uninitialized data with IP_VS_IPV6

commit 3b05ac3824ed9648c0d9c02d51d9b54e4e7e874f upstream.

The app_tcp_pkt_out() function expects "*diff" to be set and ends up
using uninitialized data if CONFIG_IP_VS_IPV6 is turned on.

The same issue is there in app_tcp_pkt_in().  Thanks to Julian Anastasov
for noticing that.
