Subject: xfrm: Refuse to insert 32 bit userspace socket policies on 64 bit systems

From: Steffen Klassert <[email protected]>

commit 19d7df69fdb2636856dc8919de72fc1bf8f79598 upstream.

We don't have a compat layer for xfrm, so userspace and kernel structures have different sizes in this case. This results in a broken configuration, so refuse to configure socket policies when trying to insert from 32 bit userspace as we do it already with policies inserted via netlink.
