Add the ability to send out RFC-3948 NAT keepalives from the xfrm stack. To use, Userspace sets an XFRM_NAT_KEEPALIVE_INTERVAL integer property when creating XFRM outbound states which denotes the number of seconds between keepalive messages. Keepalive messages are sent from a per net delayed work which iterates over the xfrm states. The logic is guarded by the xfrm state spinlock due to the xfrm state walk iterator. Possible future enhancements: - Adding counters to keep track of sent keepalives. - deduplicate NAT keepalives between states sharing the same nat keepalive parameters. - provisioning hardware offloads for devices capable of implementing this. - revise xfrm state list to use an rcu list in order to avoid running this under spinlock.
