xfrm_nlmsg_multicast() requires the RCU read lock to be held because it
safely dereferences the net->xfrm.nlsk pointer using rcu_dereference().
When it is called from xfrm_send_migrate_state(), the RCU read lock is not
held, which triggers a suspicious RCU usage warning:
WARNING: suspicious RCU usage
net/xfrm/xfrm_user.c:1630 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!
Call Trace:
lockdep_rcu_suspicious+0x13f/0x1d0 kernel/locking/lockdep.c:6876

xfrm_user_rcv_msg+0x7a8/0xf30 net/xfrm/xfrm_user.c:3907
Fix this by wrapping the xfrm_nlmsg_multicast() call in
xfrm_send_migrate_state() with rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock().
