xfrm: policy: fix infinite loop when merging src-nodes
With very small change to test script we can trigger softlockup due to bogus assignment of 'p' (policy to be examined) on restart. Previously the two to-be-merged nodes had same address/prefixlength pair, so no erase/reinsert was necessary, we only had to append the list from node a to b. If prefix lengths are different, the node has to be deleted and re-inserted into the tree, with the updated prefix length. This was broken; due to bogus update to 'p' this loops forever. Add a 'restart' label and use that instead. While at it, don't perform the unneeded reinserts of the policies that are already sorted into the 'new' node. A previous patch in this series made xfrm_policy_inexact_list_reinsert() use the relative position indicator to sort policies according to age in case priorities are identical.
