The disable_xfrm flag signals that xfrm should not be performed during
routing towards a device before reaching device xmit.
For xfrm interfaces this is usually desired as they perform the outbound
policy lookup as part of their xmit using their if_id.
Before this change enabling this flag on xfrm interfaces prevented them
from xmitting as xfrm_lookup_with_ifid() would not perform a policy lookup
in case the original dst had the DST_NOXFRM flag.
This optimization is incorrect when the lookup is done by the xfrm
interface xmit logic.
Fix by performing policy lookup when invoked by xfrmi as if_id != 0.
Similarly it's unlikely for the 'no policy exists on net' check to yield
any performance benefits when invoked from xfrmi.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
