Hi Petr,

Thank for the review.

I tested my patch, and I see atleast the TCONF path is fine, it does not 
print 'LTP_ERR' -

tcp_ipsec 1 TCONF: 'ip xfrm state add src 10.0.0.2 dst 10.0.0.1 spi 
0x1000 proto esp enc serpent 
0x5a78724d91fbdab8873e6bc7933816f9bb58b3da90ec2a6e0346ba41c6c18c63 auth 
hmac(rmd160) 0x4b53e65cb2e928d34c0db747782dda0457a3e4ed mode transport 
sel src 10.0.0.2 dst 10.0.0.1': Error: Requested AUTH algorithm not found.

but we will have it printed in TRBOK cases, as it was before this patch 
also:
tcp_ipsec 1 TBROK: ip xfrm state add src 10.0.0.2 dst 10.0.0.1 spi 
0x1000 proto esp enc serpent

LTP_ERR
