In ch_ipsec_xfrm_add_state() there is not check of try_module_get
return value. It is very unlikely, but try_module_get() could return
false value, which could cause use-after-free error.
Conditions: The module count must be zero, and a module unload in
progress. The thread doing the unload is blocked somewhere.
Another thread makes a callback into the module for some request
that (for instance) would need to create a kernel thread.
It tries to get a reference for the thread.
So try_module_get(THIS_MODULE) is the right call - and will fail here.
This fix adds checking the result of try_module_get call

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 reStructuredText 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.
