Fixes: a7c44247f70 ("xfrm: policy: make xfrm_policy_lookup_bytype lockless")

Minor note: the 'Fixes' commit should be 77cc278f7b20 ("xfrm: policy:
Use sequence counters with associated lock") instead.

The reason read_seqcount_begin() is emitting a mutex_lock() on
PREEMPT_RT is because of the s/seqcount_t/seqcount_mutex_t/ change.

Kind regards,
