[IPv4] ESP: Discard dummy packets introduced in rfc4303
RFC4303 introduces dummy packets with a nexthdr value of 59 to implement traffic confidentiality. Such packets need to be dropped silently and the payload may not be attempted to be parsed as it consists of random chunk. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
