xfrm: remove policy lock when accessing policy->walk.dead

Browse Source 
All of the code considers ->dead as a hint that the cached policy
needs to get refreshed. The read side can just drop the read lock
without any side effects.

The write side needs to make sure that it's written only exactly
once. Only possible race is at xfrm_policy_kill(). This is fixed
by checking result of __xfrm_policy_unlink() when needed. It will
always succeed if the policy object is looked up from the hash
list (so some checks are removed), but it needs to be checked if
we are trying to unlink policy via a reference (appropriate
checks added).

Since policy->walk.dead is written exactly once, it no longer
needs to be protected with a write lock.
