With an IPsec tunnel without dedicated interface, netfilter sees locally generated packets twice as they exit the physical interface: Once as "the inner packet" with IPsec context attached and once as the encrypted (ESP) packet. With xfrm_interface, the inner packet did not traverse NF_INET_LOCAL_OUT hook anymore, making it impossible to match on both inner header values and associated IPsec data from that hook. Fix this by looping packets transmitted from xfrm_interface through NF_INET_LOCAL_OUT before passing them on to dst_output(), which makes behaviour consistent again from netfilter's point of view.
