Subject: [PATCH 1/4] xfrm: increment genid before bumping state genids

__xfrm_state_bump_genids() is used to update the genid of all
matching xfrm_state's, so any bundle using the state would get
refreshed with the newly inserted state.

However, since __xfrm_state_bump_genids() is called before the
__xfrm_state_insert() which actually bumps the genid counter,
it is possible that the genid was not updated at all (if there
was no state inserts previously).

This is fixed by moving the genid incrementation to
__xfrm_state_bump_genids() so the older states are guaranteed
to get different genid.
