Subject: [PATCH RFC] xfrm{4,6}: only report errors back to local sockets if we don't cross address family

xfrm6_local_error/xfrm4_tunnel_check_size report mtu errors back to a
socket in case it is locally generated. If the packet first traversed
a 6in4/4in6 tunnel before passing the xfrm layer, we could get a panic
because of address family type mismatch in the error reporting functions.

This bug fixes only the panic part of the excellent bug report
<https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58691> by vi0oss.

It is unclear to me how to let these mtu change events travel up the
stack. A match on (skb->sk && (skb->dev | tunnel_types)) could be made
first and we forcefully decrease the mtu of that interface with a warning?
This seems to be fragile to me.
