This is intentional, the original state is not XFRM_STATE_ACQ,
so you are not allowed to update keys without requesting for
a new SPI. The original code was written 15 years ago, based
on RFC 2367 (PF_KEY) which says we must return -EINVAL in this
case. So if we change this, we should return an error.
