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.
