Yossef Efraim 43024b9ccd xfrm: Fix xfrm_dev_state_add to fail for unsupported HW SA option
xfrm_dev_state_add function returns success for unsupported HW SA options.
Resulting the calling function to create SW SA without corrlating HW SA.
Desipte IPSec device offloading option was chosen.
These not supported HW SA options are hard coded within xfrm_dev_state_add
function.
SW backward compatibility will break if we add any of these option as old
HW will fail with new SW.

This patch changes the behaviour to return -EINVAL in case unsupported
option is chosen.
Notifying user application regarding failure and not breaking backward
compatibility for newly added HW SA options.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
