cf37966751747727629fe51fd4a1d4edd8457c60 xfrm: do unconditional template resolution before pcpu cache check
Stephen Smalley says:
Since 4.14-rc1, the selinux-testsuite has been encountering sporadic
failures during testing of labeled IPSEC. git bisect pointed to
commit ec30d ("xfrm: add xdst pcpu cache").
The xdst pcpu cache is only checking that the policies are the same,
but does not validate that the policy, state, and flow match with respect
to security context labeling.
As a result, the wrong SA could be used and the receiver could end up
performing permission checking and providing SO_PEERSEC or SCM_SECURITY
values for the wrong security context.
This fix makes it so that we always do the template resolution, and
then checks that the found states match those in the pcpu bundle.
This has the disadvantage of doing a bit more work (lookup in state hash
table) if we can reuse the xdst entry (we only avoid xdst alloc/free)
but we don't add a lot of extra work in case we can't reuse.
xfrm_pol_dead() check is removed, reasoning is that
xfrm_tmpl_resolve does all needed checks.
