For rcu protected pointers, we'd better add '__rcu' for them.
Once added '__rcu' tag for rcu protected pointer, the sparse tool reports
warnings.
net/xfrm/xfrm_user.c:1198:39: sparse: expected struct sock *sk
net/xfrm/xfrm_user.c:1198:39: sparse: got struct sock [noderef] <asn:4> *nlsk
[...]
So introduce a new wrapper function of nlmsg_unicast to handle type
conversions.
This patch also fixes a direct access of a rcu protected socket.

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.
