xfrm: Fix crash observed during device unregistration and decryption
[ Upstream commit 071d36bf ] A crash is observed when a decrypted packet is processed in receive path. get_rps_cpus() tries to dereference the skb->dev fields but it appears that the device is freed from the poison pattern.

Fix this by holding on to device reference when queueing packets asynchronously and releasing the reference on call back return. v2: Make the change generic to xfrm as mentioned by Steffen and update the title to xfrm Suggested-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: Jerome Stanislaus <jeromes@codeaurora.org> Signed-off-by: Subash Abhinov Kasiviswanathan <subashab@codeaurora.org> Signed-off-by: David S.
