Subject: [PATCH 01/11] xfrm: Forbid state updates from changing encap type

From: Herbert Xu <herbert@...dor.apana.org.au>

Currently we allow state updates to competely replace the contents
of x->encap.  This is bad because on the user side ESP only sets up
header lengths depending on encap_type once when the state is first
created.  This could result in the header lengths getting out of
sync with the actual state configuration.

In practice key managers will never do a state update to change the
encapsulation type.  Only the port numbers need to be changed as the
peer NAT entry is updated.

Therefore this patch adds a check in xfrm_state_update to forbid
any changes to the encap_type.
