That does indeed fix it!  Also applies and works with -rc5.
Please queue for -rc6.  (Unless you want to tweak the patch a bit;
I haven't done any sort of code review on it.)

This could be simplified to (if you want; it's smaller but uglier)

	if (err <= 0) {
		if (err != 0 && err != -EAGAIN)
			XFRM_INC_STATS(net, LINUX_MIB_XFRMOUTPOLERROR);
		return ERR_PTR(err);	/* Correctly returns NULL if err == 0 */
	}

This I'm having a hard time simplifying.  It resembles the previous
block, but not enough.

I see two nearby tests for xdst == NULL ("To accelerate a bit..."); I take it
they can't be combined?
