xfrm: policy: fix use-after-free on inexact bin in xfrm_policy_bysel_ctx()

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

xfrm: policy: fix use-after-free on inexact bin in xfrm_policy_bysel_ctx()

Fix the race by pruning the bin while still holding xfrm_policy_lock,
before dropping it. Use __xfrm_policy_inexact_prune_bin() directly since
the lock is already held. The wrapper xfrm_policy_inexact_prune_bin()
becomes unused and is removed.

Race:

CWE-416 Use After Free

The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.
