i got the following crash when restarting a (timed out) ipsec session on 
2.6.20-rc1-rt4:

the reason for the crash is that we pass both 'xp' and 'x' as NULL into 
xfrm_audit_log(), which thus has no other option but to crash.

The fix i think is to check for the presence of xp sooner and return 
with -ENOENT, and to pass in the 'delete' flag as the result to the 
audit subsystem, not the 'xp != NULL' boolen value.

(this is a new v2.6.19->v2.6.20-rc1 regression, i never had problems 
with this functionality of the kernel.)

Hopefully i got the fix right :-)
