[PATCH v2 1/1] xfrm : lock input tasklet skb queue

[Tom Rix]

On PREEMPT_RT_FULL while running netperf, a corruption
of the skb queue causes an oops.

This appears to be caused by a race condition here
        __skb_queue_tail(&trans->queue, skb);
        tasklet_schedule(&trans->tasklet);
Where the queue is changed before the tasklet is locked by
tasklet_schedule.

The fix is to use the skb queue lock.

This is the original work of Joerg Vehlow <joerg.veh...@aox-tech.de>
https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/9/9/111
  xfrm_input: Protect queue with lock

  During the skb_queue_splice_init the tasklet could have been preempted
  and __skb_queue_tail called, which led to an inconsistent queue.

ifdefs for CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT_FULL added to reduce runtime effects
on the normal kernel.
