Subject: [PATCH v3 net-next] xfrm: Add check to prevent un-complete key manager

From: Baker Zhang <Baker.kernel@...il.com>

"acquire" and "compile_policy" callbacks are necessary for a key manager.

Thanks for all reply.

V1:
For current kernel source, there is no problem.

In our vpn product, we need a xfrm_km in kernel module
to monitor the xfrm state change.
thus, the 'acquire' and 'compile_policy' may be NULL.

So I think we should do the check before use it. 

V2:
Align the continuation line according the networking coding style.

V3:
Add check to prevent un-complete key manager at register time.
