Subject: [PATCH ipsec-next] Clear secpath on loopback_xmit

This patch clears the skb->sp when transmitted over loopback. This
ensures that the loopback-ed packet does not have any secpath
information from the outbound transforms.

At present, this causes XFRM tunnel mode packets to be dropped with
XFRMINNOPOLS, due to the outbound state being in the secpath, without
a matching inbound policy. Clearing the secpath ensures that all states
added to the secpath are exclusively from the inbound processing.

Tests: xfrm tunnel mode tests added for loopback:
