This series fixes most of the sparse warnings currently reported about
RCU pointers for files under net/xfrm. There's no actual bug in the
current code, we only need to use the correct helpers in each context.

Sabrina Dubroca (10):
  xfrm: state: fix sparse warnings on xfrm_state_hold_rcu
  xfrm: state: fix sparse warnings in xfrm_state_init
  xfrm: state: fix sparse warnings around XFRM_STATE_INSERT
  xfrm: state: add xfrm_state_deref_prot to state_by* walk under lock
  xfrm: remove rcu/state_hold from xfrm_state_lookup_spi_proto
  xfrm: state: silence sparse warnings during netns exit
  xfrm: policy: fix sparse warnings in xfrm_policy_{init,fini}
  xfrm: policy: silence sparse warning in xfrm_policy_unregister_afinfo
  xfrm: add rcu_access_pointer to silence sparse warning for
    xfrm_input_afinfo
  xfrm: avoid RCU warnings around the per-netns netlink socket

Series applied, thanks a ot Sabrina!

I forgot to mention, I've pulled this into the ipsec tree
as I consider this as fixes to get rid of these warnings
and the regression risk is pretty low.
