This commit adds an unstable kfunc helper to access internal xfrm_state associated with an SA. This is intended to be used for the upcoming IPsec pcpu work to assign special pcpu SAs to a particular CPU. In other words: for custom software RSS. That being said, the function that this kfunc wraps is fairly generic and used for a lot of xfrm tasks. I'm sure people will find uses elsewhere over time. This commit also adds a corresponding bpf_xdp_xfrm_state_release() kfunc to release the refcnt acquired by bpf_xdp_get_xfrm_state(). The verifier will require that all acquired xfrm_state's are released.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
