Subject: [Patch]net/xfrm/xfrm_policy.c: replace timer with delayed_work


As suggested by Herbert, using workqueue is better than timer
for net/xfrm/xfrm_policy.c, so replace them with delayed_work.

Note that, this patch is not fully tested, just compile and
run as a whole on an Intel Core Duo matchine. So should be
in -mm first.
