This part of my patch is buggy, we loop here so would need to remember more
state to do the puts right.

But luckily, this function doesn't need this to_put code, as it grabs
x->lock not xfrm_state_lock so all the changes to this function can
simply be removed :)

I'm going to do some testing on this and commit it unless more problems
are found.

ipsec: Fix deadlock in xfrm_state management.

Ever since commit 4c563f7669c10a12354b72b518c2287ffc6ebfb3
("[XFRM]: Speed up xfrm_policy and xfrm_state walking") it is
illegal to call __xfrm_state_destroy (and thus xfrm_state_put())
with xfrm_state_lock held.  If we do, we'll deadlock since we
have the lock already and __xfrm_state_destroy() tries to take
it again.

Fix this by pushing the xfrm_state_put() calls after the lock
is dropped.
