With very small change to test script we can trigger softlockup due to
bogus assignment of 'p' (policy to be examined) on restart.
Previously the two to-be-merged nodes had same address/prefixlength pair,
so no erase/reinsert was necessary, we only had to append the list from
node a to b.
If prefix lengths are different, the node has to be deleted and re-inserted
into the tree, with the updated prefix length. This was broken; due to
bogus update to 'p' this loops forever.
Add a 'restart' label and use that instead.
While at it, don't perform the unneeded reinserts of the policies that
are already sorted into the 'new' node.
A previous patch in this series made xfrm_policy_inexact_list_reinsert()
use the relative position indicator to sort policies according to age in
case priorities are identical.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
