Currently when configuring macsec with replay protection,
replay protection and window gets a default value of -1,
the above is leading to passing replay protection and
replay window attributes to the kernel while replay is
explicitly set to off, leading for an invalid argument
error when configured with extended packet number (XPN).
since the default window value which is 0xFFFFFFFF is
passed to the kernel and while XPN is configured the above
value is an invalid window value.
Example:
ip link add link eth2 macsec0 type macsec sci 1 cipher
gcm-aes-xpn-128 replay off
RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument
Fix by passing the window attribute to the kernel only if replay is on
