The series adds inline protocol support in ipsec-secgw application.

First patch introduces changes in lib to enable applications to save a
(void *) pointer as "userdata" in security session. For inline processed
packets, application could call "rte_security_get_pkt_metadata" API to
retrieve this application registered userdata from the packet. API
will return the userdata associated with the security session which
processed the packet.

This is primarily required for inline protocol processed ingress
packets. For such packets, the packet may not have enough information to
identify the security parameters with which the packet was processed.
Application can register what it needs to identify the required
parameter. The userdata will be set while creating the security
session.

Second patch adds support for inline protocol in ipsec-secgw
application.
