[ Upstream commit 9c9cb23e00ddf45679b21b4dacc11d1ae7961ebe ]

The issue happens on an error path in __xfrm_policy_check(). When the
fetching process of the object `pols[1]` fails, the function simply
returns 0, forgetting to decrement the reference count of `pols[0]`,
which is incremented earlier by either xfrm_sk_policy_lookup() or
xfrm_policy_lookup(). This may result in memory leaks.

Fix it by decreasing the reference count of `pols[0]` in that path.

Fixes: 134b0fc544ba ("IPsec: propagate security module errors up from flow_cache_lookup")
