[Devel] [PATCH][IPVS] Don't leak sysctl tables if the scheduler registration fails

In case we load lblc or lblcr module we can leak some sysctl
tables if the call to register_ip_vs_scheduler() fails.

I've looked at the register_ip_vs_scheduler() code and saw, that
the only reason to fail is the name collision, so I think that
with some 3rd party schedulers this becomes a relevant issue. No?
