xfrm: fix RCU bugs
This patch reverts commit 56892261ed1a (xfrm: Use rcu_dereference_bh to
deference pointer protected by rcu_read_lock_bh), and fixes bugs
introduced in commit 418a99ac6ad ( 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.
