xfrm: fix race between netns cleanup and state expire notification

The xfrm_user module registers its pernet init/exit after xfrm
itself so that its net exit function xfrm_user_net_exit() is
executed before xfrm_net_exit() which calls xfrm_state_fini() to
cleanup the SA's (xfrm states). This opens a window between
zeroing net->xfrm.nlsk pointer and deleting all xfrm_state
instances which may access it (via the timer). If an xfrm state
expires in this window, xfrm_exp_state_notify() will pass null
pointer as socket to nlmsg_multicast().

As the notifications are called inside rcu_read_lock() block, it
is sufficient to retrieve the nlsk socket with rcu_dereference()
and check the it for null.
