Subject: [PATCH 1/2] xfrm: xfrm_alloc_spi shouldn't use 0 as SPI

From: Sabrina Dubroca <sd@...asysnail.net>

x->id.spi == 0 means "no SPI assigned", but since commit
94f39804d891 ("xfrm: Duplicate SPI Handling"), we now create states
and add them to the byspi list with this value.

__xfrm_state_delete doesn't remove those states from the byspi list,
since they shouldn't be there, and this shows up as a UAF the next
time we go through the byspi list.

Closes: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=a25ee9d20d31e483ba7b
