Re: [PATCH] xfrm: Refcount destination entry on xfrm_lookup

We return a destination entry without refcount if a socket
policy is found in xfrm_lookup. This triggers a warning on
a negative refcount when freeeing this dst entry. So take
a refcount in this case to fix it.

This refcount was forgotten when xfrm changed to cache bundles
instead of policies for outgoing flows.

Ok. This is one of the corner cases I did not test: having socket policy
something else than no action. I just didn't have the application ready
for it. Sorry about the bug. And good catch Steffen.
