This is a fix for CVE-2017-16939 suitable for older stable branches. The upstream fix is commit 1137b5e2529a8f5ca8ee709288ecba3e68044df2, from which the following explanation is taken: An independent security researcher, Mohamed Ghannam, has reported this vulnerability to Beyond Security's SecuriTeam Secure Disclosure program. The xfrm_dump_policy_done function expects xfrm_dump_policy to have been called at least once or it will crash. This can be triggered if a dump fails because the target socket's receive buffer is full. It was not possible to define a 'start' callback for netlink dumps until Linux 4.5, so instead add a check for the initialisation flag in the 'done' callback.
