xfrm: fix RCU bugs
This patch reverts commit 56892261 (xfrm: Use rcu_dereference_bh to deference pointer protected by rcu_read_lock_bh), and fixes bugs introduced in commit 418a99ac ( Replace rwlock on xfrm_policy_afinfo with rcu ) 1) We properly use RCU variant in this file, not a mix of RCU/RCU_BH 2) We must defer some writes after the synchronize_rcu() call or a reader can crash dereferencing NULL pointer. 3) Now we use the xfrm_policy_afinfo_lock spinlock only from process context, we no longer need to block BH in xfrm_policy_register_afinfo() and xfrm_policy_unregister_afinfo() 4) Can use RCU_INIT_POINTER() instead of rcu_assign_pointer() in xfrm_policy_unregister_afinfo() 5) Remove a forward inline declaration (xfrm_policy_put_afinfo()), and also move xfrm_policy_get_afinfo() declaration.
