: pfkey should ignore events when no listeners

[IPSEC]: pfkey should ignore events when no listeners

When pfkey has no km listeners, it still does a lot of work before finding out there aint nobody out there.

With this short-circuit adding 10s of thousands of SAs using netlink improves performance by ~10%.
