From: Nicolas Dichtel <nicolas.dichtel@xxxxxxxxx> commit c5d1030f23002430c2a336b2b629b9d6f72b3564 upstream. dev_net(dev) is the netns of the device and xi->net is the link netns, where the device has been linked. changelink() must operate in the link netns to avoid a corruption of the xfrm lists. Note that xi->net and dev_net(xi->physdev) are always the same. Before the patch, the xfrmi lists may be corrupted and can later trigger a kernel panic.
