Subject: xfrm: release dst_orig in case of error in xfrm_lookup()

commit ac37e2515c1a89c477459a2020b6bfdedabdb91b upstream.

dst_orig should be released on error. Function like __xfrm_route_forward()
expects that behavior.
Since a recent commit, xfrm_lookup() may also be called by xfrm_lookup_route(),
which expects the opposite.
Let's introduce a new flag (XFRM_LOOKUP_KEEP_DST_REF) to tell what should be
done in case of error.
