macsec: Support XPN frame handling - IEEE 802.1AEbw
Support extended packet number cipher suites (802.1AEbw) frames handling. This does not include the needed netlink patches. * Added xpn boolean field to `struct macsec_secy`. * Added ssci field to `struct_macsec_tx_sa` (802.1AE figure 10-5). * Added ssci field to `struct_macsec_rx_sa` (802.1AE figure 10-5). * Added salt field to `struct macsec_key` (802.1AE 10.7 NOTE 1). * Created pn_t type for easy access to lower and upper halves. * Created salt_t type for easy access to the "ssci" and "pn" parts. * Created `macsec_fill_iv_xpn` function to create IV in XPN mode. * Support in PN recovery and preliminary replay check in XPN mode. In addition, according to IEEE 802.1AEbw figure 10-5, the PN of incoming frame can be 0 when XPN cipher suite is used, so fixed the function `macsec_validate_skb` to fail on PN=0 only if XPN is off.
