[Tejasree] We would like to defer the patch and add implementation, test case 
in next cycle.

[Tejasree] This item matches security processed packets and not specific to 
IPsec.
Will change commit description as follows:
" Introduce a new item type RTE_FLOW_ITEM_TYPE_SECURITY to
match packets that were security processed. For example, in case of
inline IPsec, it can be used to distinguish plain packets from IPsec decrypted
plain packets"
Would that be fine?
