xfrm: Fix inner mode lookup in tunnel mode GSO segmentation

[ Upstream commit 3d5221af9c ]

Commit 61fafbee6c ("xfrm: Determine inner GSO type from packet inner
protocol") attempted to fix GSO segmentation by reading the inner
protocol from XFRM_MODE_SKB_CB(skb)->protocol. This was incorrect
because the field holds the inner L4 protocol (TCP/UDP) instead of the
required tunnel protocol. Also, the memory location (shared by
XFRM_SKB_CB(skb) which could be overwritten by xfrm_replay_overflow())
is prone to corruption. This combination caused the kernel to select
the wrong inner mode and get the wrong address family.

The correct value is in xfrm_offload(skb)->proto, which is set from
the outer tunnel header's protocol field by esp[4|6]_gso_encap(). It
is initialized by xfrm[4|6]_tunnel_encap_add() to either IPPROTO_IPIP
or IPPROTO_IPV6, using xfrm_af2proto() and correctly reflects the
inner packet's address family.
