IPsec crypt offload supports outbound IPv6 ESP packets, but it doesn't
support inbound IPv6 ESP packets.
This change enables the crypto offload for inbound IPv6 ESP packets
that are not handled through GRO code path. If HW drivers add the
offload information to the skb, the packet will be handled in the
crypto offload rx code path.
Apart from the change in crypto offload rx code path, the change
in xfrm_policy_check is also needed.
Exampe of RX data path:

Test: Enabled both in/out IPsec crypto offload, and verified IPv6
ESP packets on Android device on both wifi/cellular network

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 reStructuredText 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.
