Subject: [PATCH 03/10] xfrm: make state as DEAD before final put when migrate fails

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

xfrm_state_migrate/xfrm_state_clone_and_setup create a new state, and
call xfrm_state_put to destroy it in case of
failure. __xfrm_state_destroy expects the state to be in
XFRM_STATE_DEAD, but we currently don't do that.

Closes: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=5cd6299ede4d4f70987b
