Steffen said we can't sleep in xfrm_timer_handler(), which calls
__xfrm_state_delete(). So I can't find a way to handle the race condition
between bond_ipsec_add_sa_all() -> xdo_dev_state_add, which may sleep.
And __xfrm_state_delete() -> xdo_dev_state_delete, which can't sleep.

Hi Jay, do you have any comments?

Thanks
