Current Work Queue Entry (WQE) checksum (csum) flags in the ethernet
segment (eseg) in case of IPsec crypto offload datapath are not aligned
with PRM/HW expectations.

Currently the driver always sets the l3_inner_csum flag in case of IPsec
because of the wrong usage of skb->encapsulation as indicator for inner
IPsec header since skb->encapsulation is always ON for IPsec packets
since IPsec itself is an encapsulation protocol. The above forced a
failing attempts of calculating csum of non-existing segments (like in
the IP|ESP|TCP packet case which does not have an l3_inner) which led
to lots of packet drops hence the low throughput.

Fix by using xo->inner_ipproto as indicator for inner IPsec header
instead of skb->encapsulation in addition to setting the csum flags
as following:
* Tunnel Mode:
* Pkt: MAC  IP     ESP  IP    L4
* CSUM: l3_cs | l3_inner_cs | l4_inner_cs
*
* Transport Mode:
* Pkt: MAC  IP     ESP  L4
* CSUM: l3_cs [ | l4_cs (checksum partial case)]
*
* Tunnel(VXLAN TCP/UDP) over Transport Mode
* Pkt: MAC  IP     ESP  UDP  VXLAN  IP    L4
* CSUM: l3_cs | l3_inner_cs | l4_inner_cs
