xfrm: serialize state GC with device state flush

The deferred-device pass in xfrm_dev_state_flush() finds states under
xfrm_state_dev_gc_lock, but drops the lock before calling
xfrm_dev_state_free() because the driver callback may sleep.  The device
GC list does not hold an xfrm_state reference, so the state GC worker can
destroy the same state concurrently.

The race can proceed as follows:

  CPU 0                               CPU 1
  find x on the device GC list
  drop xfrm_state_dev_gc_lock
  read x->xso.dev
                                      xfrm_state_gc_destroy(x)
                                      xfrm_dev_state_free(x)
                                      xfrm_state_free(x)
  continue xfrm_dev_state_free(x)

Both paths can invoke the driver callback and drop the device reference.
CPU 0 can also access the xfrm_state after CPU 1 has freed it.

Serialize xfrm_state destruction against the deferred-device pass with a
mutex.  Keep xfrm_state_dev_gc_lock limited to list operations and retain
the existing callback and device-reference release ordering.
