This commit adds support for 'collect_md' mode on xfrm interfaces. Each net can have one collect_md device, created by providing the IFLA_XFRM_COLLECT_METADATA flag at creation. This device cannot be altered and has no if_id or link device attributes. On transmit to this device, the if_id is fetched from the attached dst metadata on the skb. If exists, the link property is also fetched from the metadata. The dst metadata type used is METADATA_XFRM which holds these properties. On the receive side, xfrmi_rcv_cb() populates a dst metadata for each packet received and attaches it to the skb. The if_id used in this case is fetched from the xfrm state, and the link is fetched from the incoming device. This information can later be used by upper layers such as tc, ebpf, and ip rules. Because the skb is scrubed in xfrmi_rcv_cb(), the attachment of the dst metadata is postponed until after scrubing. Similarly, xfrm_input() is adapted to avoid dropping metadata dsts by only dropping 'valid' (skb_valid_dst(skb) == true) dsts. Policy matching on packets arriving from collect_md xfrmi devices is done by using the xfrm state existing in the skb's sec_path. The xfrm_if_cb.decode_cb() interface implemented by xfrmi_decode_session() is changed to keep the details of the if_id extraction tucked away in xfrm_interface.c.

README
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.
