Subject: xfrm: Fix refcount imbalance in xfrm_lookup
From: Steffen Klassert <[email protected]>
[ Upstream commit b7eea4545ea775df957460f58eb56085a8892856 ]
xfrm_lookup must return a dst_entry with a refcount for the caller.
Git commit 1a1ccc96abb ("xfrm: Remove caching of xfrm_policy_sk_bundles")
removed this refcount for the socket policy case accidentally.
This patch restores it and sets DST_NOCACHE flag to make sure
that the dst_entry is freed when the refcount becomes null.
Fixes: 1a1ccc96abb ("xfrm: Remove caching of xfrm_policy_sk_bundles")
