Subject: xfrm: move xfrm_garbage_collect out of xfrm_policy_flush

From: Hangbin Liu <liuhangbin@gmail.com>

commit 138437f591dd9a42d53c6fed1a3c85e02678851c upstream.

Now we will force to do garbage collection if any policy removed in
xfrm_policy_flush(). But during xfrm_net_exit(). We call flow_cache_fini()
first and set set fc->percpu to NULL. Then after we call xfrm_policy_fini()
-> frxm_policy_flush() -> flow_cache_flush(), we will get NULL pointer
dereference when check percpu_empty. The code path looks like:

flow_cache_fini()
  - fc->percpu = NULL
xfrm_policy_fini()
  - xfrm_policy_flush()
    - xfrm_garbage_collect()
      - flow_cache_flush()
        - flow_cache_percpu_empty()
	  - fcp = per_cpu_ptr(fc->percpu, cpu)

To reproduce, just add ipsec in netns and then remove the netns.

v2:
As Xin Long suggested, since only two other places need to call it. move
xfrm_garbage_collect() outside xfrm_policy_flush().

v3:
Fix subject mismatch after v2 fix.
