    [IPv4] ESP: Discard dummy packets introduced in rfc4303
    
    RFC4303 introduces dummy packets with a nexthdr value of 59
    to implement traffic confidentiality. Such packets need to
    be dropped silently and the payload may not be attempted to
    be parsed as it consists of random chunk.
