Although an ipsec SA was established, kernel couldn't seem to find it. I think since we are now using "x->sel.family" instead of "family" in the xfrm_selector_match() called in xfrm_state_find(), af_key needs to set this field too, just as xfrm_user.
In af_key.c, x->sel.family only gets set when there's an ext_hdrs[SADB_EXT_ADDRESS_PROXY-1] which I think is for tunnel. I think pfkey needs to also set the x->sel.family field when it is 0. Tested with below patch, and ipsec worked when using pfkey. Let me know if this is correct approach or not.
