Good point. Acquires are triggered from the network stack so
it may be in BH context.

---8<---
With name space support, it is possible for a pfkey_register to
occur in the middle of a send_acquire, thus changing the number
of supported algorithms.

This can be fixed by taking a lock to make it single-threaded
again. As this lock can be taken from both thread and softirq
contexts, we need to take the necessary precausions with disabling
BH and make it a spin lock.
