[XFRM]: Define packet dropping statistics.
This statistics is shown factor dropped by transformation
at /proc/net/xfrm_stat for developer.
It is a counter designed from current transformation source code
and defined as linux private MIB.

See Documentation/networking/xfrm_proc.txt for the detail.

+Transformation Statistics
+-------------------------
+xfrm_proc is a statistics shown factor dropped by transformation
+for developer.
+It is a counter designed from current transformation source code
+and defined like linux private MIB.

+	State has mismatch option
+	e.g. UDP encapsulation type is mismatch
+XfrmInStateInvalid:
+	State is invalid
+XfrmInTmplMismatch:
+	No matching template for states
+	e.g. Inbound SAs are correct but SP rule is wrong
