We don't have a xfrm_policy() function, and as said already the
line numbers does not help much as long as you don't say which
tree/branch this is and which commit is the head commit.

I guess you refer to xfrm_bundle_ok(). The dst pointer
is reoaded after the loop, so the dereferenced pointer
is not the one that had NULL at dst->xfrm.

I'd suggest you to manually review the reports of your
tool and to fix the tool accordingly.
