It would be better to not touch these flags. The backup
sync server simply ignores the forwarding method by applying the
IP_VS_CONN_F_BACKUP_UPD_MASK mask. The real server is found only
by daddr+dport. It would be enough to provide any new non-default
parameters as optional IPVS_DEST_ATTR_xxx attributes. By this way,
we can later add more tunneling methods.

We can add the new attributes in this function.

Here too.

Also, note that __ip_vs_update_dest() can update the forwarding
methods, so we should be able to switch them between any method.

Then, in this func we should drop traffic when cp->dest is NULL
because we will not know the actual tunneling method. But it can happen
only on misconfigured backup servers, so this is not a big problem.

Now, the parameters should be available in cp->dest.
