Subject: [PATCH 2/2] macsec: Fix frame loss in XPN mode when PN=0 bug

According to IEEE 802.1aebw figure 10-5,
the PN of incoming frame can be 0 when XPN cipher suite is used.

Fixed `macsec_validate_skb` to fail on PN=0 only if we are not using XPN.

Depends on: macsec: Backward compatibility bugfix of consts values
