xfrm: Allow different selector family in temporary state
The family parameter xfrm_state_find is used to find a state matching a certain policy. This value is set to the template's family (encap_family) right before xfrm_state_find is called. The family parameter is however also used to construct a temporary state in xfrm_state_find itself which is wrong for inter-family scenarios because it produces a selector for the wrong family. Since this selector is included in the xfrm_user_acquire structure, user space programs misinterpret IPv6 addresses as IPv4 and vice versa. This patch splits up the original init_tempsel function into a part that initializes the selector respectively the props and id of the temporary state, to allow for differing ip address families whithin the state.
