First of all, if the xfrm_state only gets used for input
packets this entropy is a complete waste.

Secondly, it is often the case that a configuration loads
many rules (perhaps even dynamically) and they don't all
necessarily ever get used.

This get_random_bytes() call was showing up in the profiles
for xfrm_state inserts which is how I noticed this.
