xfrm_state_fini() flushes state_hash_work before it inspects and frees the
per-net state hash tables. A concurrent state insertion can queue another
resize while that flush is in progress. The resize worker may then replace
and free a table while teardown is still walking it.

Disable and drain state_hash_work before flushing states and freeing the
tables. This also prevents a new resize from being queued during teardown.

Fixes: f034b5d4efdf ("[XFRM]: Dynamic xfrm_state hash table sizing.")

Build-tested: W=1 ARCH=arm64 net/xfrm/ (out-of-tree build).
No reproducer was available to run the teardown race locally.
