Subject: [PATCH] key: No support for family zero

When setting the extended skb data for sadb_x_ipsecrequest, the requested
extended data size exceeds the allocated skb data length, triggering the
reported bug.

Because family only supports AF_INET and AF_INET6, other values will cause
pfkey_sockaddr_fill() to fail, which in turn causes set_ipsecrequest() to
fail.

Therefore, a workaround is available here: using a family value of 0 to
resolve the issue of excessively large extended data length.

syzbot reported:
kernel BUG at net/core/skbuff.c:212!
Call Trace:
 skb_over_panic net/core/skbuff.c:217 [inline]
