Subject: XFRM state hash value

Hi guys,

this commit: [XFRM]: Hash xfrm_state objects by source address too. 
(http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/davem/net-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=c1969f294e624d5b642fc8e6ab9468b7c7791fa8)
introduces src address in hash for state.
But in some cases, source address is a wildcard when state is inserted. For 
example, we can have something like this:
# setkey -c
add :: ff02::9 ah 0x100 -m transport -A hmac-md5 "cle3goldorakcle3";

In this case, __xfrm_state_insert() will calculate the hash value with src 
address set to 0, but xfrm_state_find() will use the real source address to 
calculate this hash. At the end, no state will be found.
The most simple way to resolve this pb is to revert the previous patch, but 
maybe someone has a better idea...

Regards,
Nicolas
