Subject: [PATCH ipsec-next v14 2/4] xfrm: Add dir validation to "out" data
 path lookup

Introduces validation for the x->dir attribute within the XFRM output
data lookup path. If the configured direction does not match the expected
direction, output, increment the XfrmOutStateDirError counter and drop
the packet to ensure data integrity and correct flow handling.

grep -vw 0 /proc/net/xfrm_stat
XfrmOutPolError         	1
XfrmOutStateDirError    	1
