[PATCH] xfrm: redact SA secret with lockdown confidentiality

redact XFRM SA secret in the netlink response to xfrm_get_sa()
or dumpall sa.
Enable this at build time and set kernel lockdown to confidentiality.

e.g.
cat /sys/kernel/security/lockdown
none integrity [confidentiality]

ip xfrm state
src 172.16.1.200 dst 172.16.1.100
	proto esp spi 0x00000002 reqid 2 mode tunnel
	replay-window 0
	aead rfc4106(gcm(aes)) 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 96

note: the aead secret is redacted.
Redacting secret is also a FIPS 140-2 requirement.

v1->v2
 - add size checks before memset calls
v2->v3
 - replace spaces with tabs for consistency
v3->v4
 - use kernel lockdown instead of a /proc setting
