This patch fixes a xfrm_state leak, which appears to be a
regression from the reference count simplifications.

commit 817252c2a475371f9764883c7d0f0cde63b3cfe8

    [XFRM]: Fix leak of expired xfrm_states
    
    The xfrm_timer calls __xfrm_state_delete, which drops the final reference
    manually without triggering destruction of the state.
