Subject: ipsec not working in 2.6.23-rc1-git10 when using pfkey

Although an ipsec SA was established, kernel couldn't seem to find it.

I think since we are now using "x->sel.family" instead of "family" 
in the  xfrm_selector_match() called in xfrm_state_find(), af_key 
needs to set this field too, just as xfrm_user. 

In af_key.c, x->sel.family only gets set when there's an 
ext_hdrs[SADB_EXT_ADDRESS_PROXY-1] which I think is for tunnel.

I think pfkey needs to also set the x->sel.family field when it is 0.

Tested with below patch, and ipsec worked when using pfkey. 
Let me know if this is correct approach or not.

Regards,
Joy
