4.19-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Mathias Krause <minipli@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 4a135e538962cb00a9667c82e7d2b9e4d7cd7177 upstream. Commit 565f0fa902b6 ("xfrm: use a dedicated slab cache for struct xfrm_state") moved xfrm state objects to use their own slab cache. However, it missed to adapt xfrm_user to use this new cache when freeing xfrm states. Fix this by introducing and make use of a new helper for freeing xfrm_state objects.
