On the contrary, please take a look at callers of xfrm_policy_destroy.
Code flow is as below:

   xfrm_policy_alloc() /* setup timer/hold_timer here */ (1)

   /* do something with this policy, insert or something else */

   goto err; /* bail out if bad things happens */

   return ok

err:
   xfrm_policy_destroy() /*So both timers in (1) need to be deleted */
