xfrm: Check for underflow in xfrm_state_mtu

Leo Lin reported OOB write issue in esp component:

  xfrm_state_mtu() returns u32 but performs its arithmetic in unsigned
  modulo-2^32 space using an attacker-influenced "header_len + authsize +
  net_adj" subtracted from a small "mtu" argument. A nobody user can
  install an IPv4 ESP tunnel SA with a large authentication key
  (XFRMA_ALG_AUTH_TRUNC, e.g. hmac(sha512), 64-byte key, 64-byte trunc),
  configure a small interface MTU (68 bytes), and set XFRMA_TFCPAD to a
  large value. When a single UDP datagram is then sent through the
  tunnel, xfrm_state_mtu() underflows to a near-2^32 value, and
  esp_output() consumes it as a signed int via:

        padto      = min(x->tfcpad, xfrm_state_mtu(x, mtu_cached))
        esp.tfclen = padto - skb->len   (assigned to int)

  esp.tfclen ends up negative (e.g. -207). It is sign-extended to size_t
  when passed to memset() inside esp_output_fill_trailer(), producing a
  ~16 EB write of zeroes at skb_tail_pointer(skb). KASAN logs it as
  "Write of size 18446744073709551537 at addr ffff888...".

Check for underflow and return 1. This causes the sendmsg attempt to
fail with ENETUNREACH.
