Re: [PATCHv2] [XFRM]: Speed up xfrm_policy and xfrm_state walking

Change xfrm_policy and xfrm_state walking algorithm from O(n^2) to O(n).
This is achieved adding the entries to one more list which is used
solely for walking the entries.

This also fixes some races where the dump can have duplicate or missing
entries when the SPD/SADB is modified during an ongoing dump.

Dumping SADB with 20000 entries using "time ip xfrm state" the sys
time dropped from 1.012s to 0.080s.

Applied, although this will make add/delete slightly slower.

Could you do that AF_KEY dumping patch you talked about?  I change my
mind, we can do it.

THanks.
