Hmmm, this seems to deadlock.  xfrm_state_add() is invoked
with the RTNL semaphore already acquired.  For example, via
xfrm_user.c:xfrm_add_sa()

Are you sure? It worked just fine during testing, and I don't see where
in the call chain from xfrm_netlink_rcv() to xfrm_state_add() the RTNL
sema is taken. Perhaps you were thinking of xfrm_cfg_sem?

My bad, you're right.
