[PATCH] af_key: Do not call xfrm_probe_algs in parallel

From: Herbert Xu
Date: Thu Aug 04 2022 - 06:04:11 EST


When namespace support was added to xfrm/afkey, it caused the
previously single-threaded call to xfrm_probe_algs to become
multi-threaded. This is buggy and needs to be fixed with a mutex.
