ipsec: bind an SA to a worker
the sequence number increment and the anti-replay window checks must be atomic. Given the vector nature of VPP we can't simply use atomic increments for sequence numbers, since a vector on thread 1 with lower sequence numbers could be 'overtaken' by packets on thread 2 with higher sequence numbers. The anti-replay logic requires a critical section, not just atomics, and we don't want that. So when the SA see the first packet it is bound to that worker all subsequent packets, that arrive on a different worker, are subject to a handoff.
