As suggested by Herbert Xu, using workqueue is better than timer
for net/xfrm/xfrm_policy.c, so replace them with delayed_work.
And due to this change, we have to disable BH when trying to
lock.

Note that, this patch is not fully tested, so should be
in -mm first.

Signed-off-by: WANG Cong <redacted>
Please let me know when these two patches have gotten some
good testing.
Thanks for your comments, David!

I thought it can go into -mm so that many other people can help
me to test it. Since I didn't have the IPSec environment. ;(

I will try if I can set up one, then test it.

Thanks.
