km_policy_expired ultimately calls xfrm_exp_policy_notify
which ignores any netlink porrts specified in it's km_event
paramater and simply sends a netlink multicast message.

km_state_expired ultimately calls xfrm_exp_state_notify
which ignores any netlink ports specified in it's km_event
paramater and simply sends a netlink multicast message.

Therefore neither km_policy_expired nor km_state_expired needs the
bogus current->pid value that is currently passed as a netlink port
and a zero can be passed instead, just like all of the other call
sites of km_port_expired and km_state_expired.
