3.16.7-ckt14 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Li RongQing <roy.qing.li at gmail.com>

commit bdddbf6996c0b9299efc97b8f66e06286f3aa8c9 upstream.

The returned xfrm_state should be hold before unlock xfrm_state_lock,
otherwise the returned xfrm_state maybe be released.

Fixes: c454997e6[{pktgen, xfrm} Introduce xfrm_state_lookup_byspi..]
