net->xfrm.nlsk is used in 2 types of contexts: - fully under RCU, with rcu_read_lock + rcu_dereference and a NULL check - in the netlink handlers, with requests coming from a userspace socket In the 2nd case, net->xfrm.nlsk is guaranteed to stay non-NULL and the object is alive, since we can't enter the netns destruction path while the user socket holds a reference on the netns. After adding the __rcu annotation to netns_xfrm.nlsk (which silences sparse warnings in the RCU users and __net_init code), we need to tell sparse that the 2nd case is safe. Add a helper for that.
