Sorry for not said clearly, at the first time I want to do like this. 
But when I grep 'xfrm_init_state', it be used in many place, not
any pf_key, but also XFRM MIGRATE, ipcomp, ipcomp6. So I did this ugly
patch by add this to xfrm_init_state() to avoid dup code.

Not sure whether the other case like ipcomp/ipcomp6 etc can cause panic, if
it panic, maybe we can fix by introduce new xfrm_init_replay() function
like to assign the default reply function.
  int xfrm_init_replay(struct xfrm_state *x)
  {
  	x->repl = &xfrm_replay_legacy;
  	return 0;
  }
and change the orig xfrm_init_replay to xfrm_update_replay()? 
Or dup those code to all used place?

If I was wrong, I will fix this by adding the necessary call to af_key.c.

Thanks.
