ipvs: fix tinfo memory leak in start_sync_thread

syzkaller reports for memory leak in start_sync_thread [1]

As Eric points out, kthread may start and stop before the
threadfn function is called, so there is no chance the
data (tinfo in our case) to be released in thread.

Fix this by releasing tinfo in the controlling code instead.
