ipfw and ipsec processing order for outgoing packets wrong

Hi,

I noticed that processing order of ipsec and ipfw (pfil_hook) is not
correct for outgoing packets. Currently, ipsec processing is done first,
which makes packets to go through without firewall inspection.
This might be a security problem for someone, but at least it
breaks stateful rule handling.

My test setup is (all freebsd 5.3-rc1 machines):

freebsd laptop <-> ipsec tunnel <->freebsd server

When server sends packet to laptop, it now goes like this:

ip_output -> ipsec -> ip_output -> ipfw -> network

It should go like this:

ip_output -> ipfw -> ipsec -> ip_output -> ipfw -> network

I think that this could be fixed by just moving pfil_hook
processing in ip_output before ipsec processing.
