Hmm, I'm not sure. If xfrm_state_hold() is safe. Why not just remove the spin
lock in xfrm_state_delete(). This is more straightforward. e.g.

diff --git a/net/xfrm/xfrm_state.c b/net/xfrm/xfrm_state.c
index 67ca7ac955a3..150562abf513 100644
--- a/net/xfrm/xfrm_state.c
+++ b/net/xfrm/xfrm_state.c
@@ -784,9 +784,7 @@ int xfrm_state_delete(struct xfrm_state *x)
 {
        int err;

-       spin_lock_bh(&x->lock);
        err = __xfrm_state_delete(x);
-       spin_unlock_bh(&x->lock);

        return err;
 }

We can even rename xfrm_state_delete() to xfrm_state_delete() directly.
