Jianbo Liu 61fafbee6c xfrm: Determine inner GSO type from packet inner protocol
The GSO segmentation functions for ESP tunnel mode
(xfrm4_tunnel_gso_segment and xfrm6_tunnel_gso_segment) were
determining the inner packet's L2 protocol type by checking the static
x->inner_mode.family field from the xfrm state.

This is unreliable. In tunnel mode, the state's actual inner family
could be defined by x->inner_mode.family or by
x->inner_mode_iaf.family. Checking only the former can lead to a
mismatch with the actual packet being processed, causing GSO to create
segments with the wrong L2 header type.

This patch fixes the bug by deriving the inner mode directly from the
packet's inner protocol stored in XFRM_MODE_SKB_CB(skb)->protocol.

Instead of replicating the code, this patch modifies the
xfrm_ip2inner_mode helper function. It now correctly returns
&x->inner_mode if the selector family (x->sel.family) is already
specified, thereby handling both specific and AF_UNSPEC cases
appropriately.

With this change, ESP GSO can use xfrm_ip2inner_mode to get the
correct inner mode. It doesn't affect existing callers, as the updated
logic now mirrors the checks they were already performing externally.
