On additional testing, I think this might be related to some
subtle race/timing issue so that git-bisect may not necessarily
be able to pin-point the correct bad-commit: if I add a few
printks in other parts of the IPsec stack (and change the timing),
the problem does not reproduce. Let me try to collect more data
on this.
Meanwhile, if you can see some bug in the commit above, then
it probably makes sense to fix it upstream anyway.
