Subject: xfrm: policy: init locks early

From: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de>

commit c282222a45cb9503cbfbebfdb60491f06ae84b49 upstream.

Dmitry reports following splat:
 INFO: trying to register non-static key.
 the code is fine but needs lockdep annotation.
 turning off the locking correctness validator.

Problem is that when we get error during xfrm_net_init we will call
xfrm_policy_fini which will acquire xfrm_policy_lock before it was
initialized.  Just move it around so locks get set up first.
