Subject: [PATCH ipsec-next v5 5/8] xfrm: split xfrm_state_migrate into create and install functions

To prepare for subsequent patches, split
xfrm_state_migrate() into two functions:
- xfrm_state_migrate_create(): creates the migrated state
- xfrm_state_migrate_install(): installs it into the state table

splitting will help to avoid SN/IV reuse when migrating AEAD SA.

And add const whenever possible.
No functional change.
