Please, either add an xfrm_init_replay() call to the appropriate spot
in net/key/af_key.c or, if possible, only have the one call in
xfrm_init_state().  Don't leave two calls, one in xfrm_user.c and one
in xfrm_state.c

Anyways, I don't think just making one call from xfrm_init_state() is
possible, because the replay settings need to be assigned before we
can properly call xfrm_init_replay().

Therefore, please fix this by adding the necessary call to af_key.c

Thanks.
