ipsec: Fix xfrm_state_walk race
As discovered by Timo Teräs, the currently xfrm_state_walk scheme
is racy because if a second dump finishes before the first, we
may free xfrm states that the first dump would walk over later.
This patch fixes this by storing the dumps in a list in order
to calculate the correct completion counter which cures this
problem.
I've expanded netlink_cb in order to accomodate the extra state
related to this. It shouldn't be a big deal since netlink_cb
is kmalloced for each dump and we're just increasing it by 4 or
8 bytes.
