[PATCH ipsec] xfrm interface: fix list corruption for x-netns

[PATCH ipsec] xfrm interface: fix list corruption for x-netns

[Nicolas Dichtel]

dev_net(dev) is the netns of the device and xi->net is the link netns,
where the device has been linked.
changelink() must operate in the link netns to avoid a corruption of
the xfrm lists.

Note that xi->net and dev_net(xi->physdev) are always the same.

Before the patch, the xfrmi lists may be corrupted and can later trigger a
kernel panic.

Fixes: f203b76d7809 ("xfrm: Add virtual xfrm interfaces")
