net: cxgb4/ch_ipsec: fix potential use-after-free in ch_ipsec_xfrm_add_state() callback

In ch_ipsec_xfrm_add_state() there is not check of try_module_get
return value. It is very unlikely, but try_module_get() could return
false value, which could cause use-after-free error.
Conditions: The module count must be zero, and a module unload in
progress. The thread doing the unload is blocked somewhere.
Another thread makes a callback into the module for some request
that (for instance) would need to create a kernel thread.
It tries to get a reference for the thread.
So try_module_get(THIS_MODULE) is the right call - and will fail here.

This fix adds checking the result of try_module_get call
