If the host got a packet already, it can just process it without extra re-classification.

The only case I know when such re-classification can be useful is assigning M_FLOWID to the mbuf
so that lagg(4) using LACP could send it further using such M_FLOWID and maybe
distribute distinct IPsec flows over distinct ports of LAGG group.

I doubt this has much practical use :-) Generally we terminate IPsec locally
or route packets to other hosts without need to differ them from other transit traffic.
