xfrm_policy_cache_flush can sleep, so it cannot be called while holding a spinlock. We could release the lock first, but I don't see why we need to invoke this function here in first place, the packet path won't reuse an xdst entry unless its still valid.
While at it, add an annotation to xfrm_policy_cache_flush, it would have probably caught this bug sooner.
