xfrm: fix tunnel mode TX datapath in packet offload mode

Browse source

Packets that match the output xfrm policy are delivered to the netstack.
In IPsec packet mode for tunnel mode, the HW is responsible for building
the hard header and outer IP header. In such a situation, the inner
header may refer to a network that is not directly reachable by the host,
resulting in a failed neighbor resolution. The packet is then dropped.
xfrm policy defines the netdevice to use for xmit so we can send packets
directly to it.

Makes direct xmit exclusive to tunnel mode, since some rules may apply
in transport mode.
