Summary

The af-to rules on inbound direction create a single state spanning both the
inbound and the outbound interface. Calling pf_test() for the outbound
direction in pf_route() makes the packet pass through state search, match
the existing state, never evaluate the ruleset, and increase state counters.

Check that the state comes from an af-to rule in inbound direction, and if
yes, skip outbound testing.
