xfrm: Check inner packet family directly from skb_dst
In the output path, xfrm_dev_offload_ok and xfrm_get_inner_ipproto need to determine the protocol family of the inner packet (skb) before it gets encapsulated. In xfrm_dev_offload_ok, the code checked x->inner_mode.family. This is unreliable because, for states handling both IPv4 and IPv6, the relevant inner family could be either x->inner_mode.family or x->inner_mode_iaf.family. Checking only the former can lead to a mismatch with the actual packet being processed. In xfrm_get_inner_ipproto, the code checked x->outer_mode.family. This is also incorrect for tunnel mode, as the inner packet's family can be different from the outer header's family. At both of these call sites, the skb variable holds the original inner packet. The most direct and reliable source of truth for its protocol family is its destination entry. This patch fixes the issue by using skb_dst(skb)->ops->family to ensure protocol-specific headers are only accessed for the correct packet type.
