While looking into a XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE_STATE issue reported by Sashiko,
we found the underlying problem generalizes: xfrm allows multiple SAs
to coexist for the same (SPI, daddr, proto) differing only in mark,
and every netlink method that resolves "which SA" - xfrm get_sa(),
del_sa(), update, get_ae, new_ae, expire, migrate - uses the same
wildcard mark match the data path needs. A broader-mask SA can
silently shadow a more specific one:

  # ip xfrm state add ... spi 0x1000 mark 1 mask 1 (SA_target)
  # ip xfrm state add ... spi 0x1000 mark 0 mask 0
    (SA_decoy, catch-all, added after -> bucket head)
  # ip xfrm state delete dst ... proto esp spi 0x1000 mark 1 mask 1
    -> deletes SA_decoy; SA_target survives, untouched

xfrm policy had the same bug, fixed in commit 4f47e8ab6ab7
("xfrm: policy: match with both mark and mask on user interfaces").

Netlink lookups use an exact mark/mask match except for UPDSA; the
wildcard match stays for the data path and state_add only.
This series applies that fix across every affected method,
not just XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE_STATE.

This series is not fixing likely isusses PF_KEY. As it
is no more receiving non critical fixes.

v1->v2: few more wildcard mark check reported by sashiko and Yan
      - keep wildcard match in xfrm_state_update() (UPDSA)
