Subject: [PATCH ipsec-next] xfrm: Allow Output Mark to be Updated Using UPDSA

Allow UPDSA to change output_mark to permit
policy separation of packet routing decisions from
SA keying in systems that use mark-based routing.

In the output_mark, used as a routing and firewall
mark for outbound packets, is made update-able which
allows routing decisions to be handled independently
of keying/SA creation. To maintain consistency with
other optional attributes, the output mark is only
updated if sent with a non-zero value. Once set, the
output mark may not be reset to zero, which ensures
that updating the SA does not require the mark to
be re-sent to avoid the value being clobbered.

The per-SA lock and the xfrm_state_lock are taken in
that order to avoid a deadlock with
xfrm_timer_handler(), which also takes the locks in
that order.
