Comment # 3 on bug 8925 from
One way, which I realise may not be possible or convenient (or safe), is to
call the function esp_sa_record_add_from_dissector() from a private dissector
which is receiving new key information while the capture is running.  This
worked well for me.

Your change seems fine, except that I wonder if people will realise what a UAT
preference is.  Would it be possible to reload all preferences?

Also, won't reloading these preference settings require the whole capture so
far to be re-dissected?  This was one of the reasons for adding
esp_sa_record_add_from_dissector().  Although you don't end up with the key
information in the esp_sa file, the capture is self-contained as it'll re-add
the keys in time when your private dissector sees them.
