xfrm: Fix RCU vs hash_resize_mutex lock inversion
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.
