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


As suggested by Herbert Xu, using workqueue is better than timer
for net/xfrm/xfrm_policy.c, so replace them with delayed_work.
And due to this change, we have to disable BH when trying to
lock.

Note that, this patch is not fully tested, so should be
in -mm first.
