[PATCH v2] net: xfrm: Add '_rcu' tag for rcu protected pointer in netns_xfrm

[PATCH v2] net: xfrm: Add '_rcu' tag for rcu protected pointer in netns_xfrm

[Su Yanjun]

For rcu protected pointers, we'd better add '__rcu' for them.

Once added '__rcu' tag for rcu protected pointer, the sparse tool reports
warnings.

net/xfrm/xfrm_user.c:1198:39: sparse:    expected struct sock *sk
net/xfrm/xfrm_user.c:1198:39: sparse:    got struct sock [noderef] <asn:4> *nlsk
[...]

So introduce a new wrapper function of nlmsg_unicast  to handle type
conversions.

No functional change.

Changes from v1:
- fix spelling mistakes and the sparse tool' warnings

While that was true for v1 of that patch, it is not
true for this version. This fixes a direct access
of a rcu protected socket. So please add a proper
'Fixes' tag.
