The help text claims that setdefault takes ACTION values, ie block |
allow. In reality, xfrm_str_to_policy takes block | accept.

We could also fix that by changing the help text/manpage, but then
it'd be frustrating to have multiple ACTION with similar values used
in different subcommands.

I'm not changing the output in xfrm_policy_to_str because some
userspace somewhere probably depends on the "accept" value.

Fixes: 76b30805f9f6 ("xfrm: enable to manage default policies")
