xfrm: Fix RCU vs hash_resize_mutex lock inversion
commit 2580d3f40022642452dd8422bfb8c22e54cf84bb upstream.
xfrm_bydst_resize() calls synchronize_rcu() while holding
hash_resize_mutex. But then on PREEMPT_RT configurations,
xfrm_policy_lookup_bytype() may acquire that mutex while running in an
RCU read side critical section. This results in a deadlock.
In fact the scope of hash_resize_mutex is way beyond the purpose of
xfrm_policy_lookup_bytype() to just fetch a coherent and stable policy
for a given destination/direction, along with other details.
The lower level net->xfrm.xfrm_policy_lock, which among other things
protects per destination/direction references to policy entries, is
enough to serialize and benefit from priority inheritance against the
write side. As a bonus, it makes it officially a per network namespace
synchronization business where a policy table resize on namespace A
shouldn't block a policy lookup on namespace B.
Fixes: 77cc278f7b (xfrm: policy: Use sequence counters with associated lock)
