Subject: [PATCH ipsec-next 5/6] xfrm: state: simplify rcu_read_unlock handling in two spots

Instead of:
  if (foo) {
      unlock();
      return bar();
   }
   unlock();
do:
   unlock();
   if (foo)
       return bar();

This is ok because rcu protected structure is only dereferenced before
the conditional.
