Disable rp_filter for IPsec packets
The reverse path filter interferes with IPsec subnet-to-subnet tunnels, especially when the link to the IPsec peer is on an interface other than the one hosting the default route. With dynamic routing, where the peer might be reachable through eth0 today and eth1 tomorrow, it's difficult to keep rp_filter enabled unless fake routes to the remote subnets are configured on the interface currently used to reach the peer. IPsec provides a much stronger anti-spoofing policy than rp_filter, so this patch disables the rp_filter for packets with a security path.
