[PATCH v2 1/1] examples/ipsec-secgw: resolve segfault for IPsec packets

launching ipsec-segw application in event vector mode
after traffic has started results in segfault because
we are receiving few IPSEC packet and application is trying
to decrypt IPSEC packets using lookaside protocol.
This contradicts inline event mode.This patch fixes the same
by freeing IPSEC packets and processing only plain packets.

Fixes: 1d5078c6cf19 ("examples/ipsec-secgw: support event vector in lookaside mode")
