I *think* we should change the order on proc fs entry creation, 
because clusterip_config_init() can race with itself,
clusterip_config_init() returns NULL if the clusterip_config_init has
no pte, and currently such entry is inserted into the list with NULL
pte and the list lock itself is released before creating the PTE.

I'll try to test something the following:
