Here's a fix for that problem.

xfrm: Fix xfrm_state_clone leak

xfrm_state_clone calls kfree instead of xfrm_state_put to free
a failed state.  Depending on the state of the failed state, it
can cause leaks to things like module references.

All states should be freed by xfrm_state_put past the point of
xfrm_init_state.
