IPv6 IPsec tunnel gateway incorrectly sends redirect to router or sender when network device the IPsec tunnelled packet is arrived is the same as the one the decapsulated packet is sent.
With this patch, it omits to send the redirect when the forwarding skbuff carries secpath, since such skbuff should be assumed as a decapsulated packet from IPsec tunnel by own. It may be a rare case for an IPsec security gateway, however it is not rare when the gateway is MIPv6 Home Agent since the another tunnel end-point is Mobile Node and it changes the attached network.
