Once flow cache gets removed the mtu initialisation happens for every skb that gets an xfrm attached, so this lock starts to show up in perf. It is not obvious why this lock is required -- the caller holds reference on the state struct, type->destructor is only called from the state gc worker (all state structs on gc list must have refcount 0). xfrm_init_state already has been called (else private data accessed by type->get_mtu() would not be set up). So just remove the lock -- the race on the state (DEAD?) doesn't matter (could change right after dropping the lock too).
