The state's statistics required for the expiration check are being updated in software. However, the code also calls xfrm_dev_state_update_stats(), which triggers a query to the hardware device to fetch statistics. This hardware query is redundant and introduces unnecessary performance overhead. Skip this call when it's crypto offload (not packet offload) to avoid the unnecessary hardware access, thereby improving performance.
