Now the library has matured and expermental tag is removed in
this patch.

Extending 'userdata' to be used for IPsec events too.
IPsec events would have some metadata which would uniquely identify the
security session for which the event is raised. But application would
need some construct which it can understand. The 'userdata' solves a
similar problem for inline processed inbound traffic. Updating the
documentation to extend the usage of 'userdata'.

In case of inline protocol processed ingress traffic, the packet may not
have enough information to determine the security parameters with which
the packet was processed. In such cases, application could get metadata
from the packet which could be used to identify the security parameters
with which the packet was processed.
Application could register "userdata" with the security session, and
this could be retrieved from the metadata of inline processed packets.
The metadata returned by "rte_security_get_pkt_metadata()" will be
device specific. Also the driver is expected to return the application
registered "userdata" as is, without any modifications.
