Subject: [PATCH v1] xfrm: add NULL check in xfrm_update_ae_params

Normally, x->replay_esn and x->preplay_esn should be allocated at
xfrm_alloc_replay_state_esn(...) in xfrm_state_construct(..), hence the
frm_update_ae_params(...) is okay to update them. However, the current
impelementation of xfrm_new_ae(...) allows a malicious user to directly
dereference a NULL pointer and crash the kernel like below.

BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000
