Sorry, I thought in this morning's discussion Hangyu had agreed to
remove all mentions of possible info leak while sending v2, since we
agreed [1] that this patch didn't fix any issue, just that it looked
more consistent, as tls_set_sw_offload NULLs iv and rec_seq on
failure. We can also drop the patch completely. Anyway since net-next
is closed, I should have told Hangyu to wait for 2 weeks.
