Subject: [PATCH] xfrm: return error when esp offload is requested and not
 supported

When ESP offload is not supported by the device return an error,
-EINVAL, instead of silently ignoring it, creating a SA without offload,
and returning success.

with this fix ip x s a would return
RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument

Also, return an error, -EINVAL, when CONFIG_XFRM_OFFLOAD is
not defined and the user is trying to create an SA with the offload.

Fixes: d77e38e612a0 ("xfrm: Add an IPsec hardware offloading API")
