Subject: [PATCH v2] xfrm: take iphdr size into account for esp payload size calculation

Corrects the function that determines the esp payload size.
The calculations done in esp4_get_mtu lead to overlength frames in transport
mode for certain mtu values and suboptimal frames for others.

According to what is done, mainly in esp_output(), net_header_len aka
sizeof(struct iphdr) must be taken into account before doing the alignment
calculation.

Changes since v1:
* introduce l3_adj to preserve the same returned value as before for tunnel
  mode

For example, with md5 AH and 3des ESP (transport mode):
mtu = 1499 leads to FRAGFAILS
mtu = 1500 the addition of padding in the esp header could be avoided

Tested with
* transport mode E
* transport mode EA
* transport mode E + ah
* tunnel mode E

Not tested with BEET, but it should be the same as transport mode
	draft-nikander-esp-beet-mode-03.txt Section 5.2:
	"The wire packet format is identical to the ESP transport mode"
