====================
sctp: implement rfc7496 in sctp
This patchset implements "Additional Policies for the Partially Reliable
Stream Control Transmission Protocol Extension" described on RFC7496.
The Partially Reliable SCTP (PR-SCTP) extension defined in [RFC3758]
provides a generic method for senders to abandon user messages. The
decision to abandon a user message is sender side only, and the exact
condition is called a "PR-SCTP policy". This patchset implements 3
policies:
1. Timed Reliability: This allows the sender to specify a timeout for
a user message after which the SCTP stack abandons the user message.
2. Limited Retransmission Policy: Allows limitation of the number of
retransmissions.
3. Priority Policy: Allows removal of lower-priority messages if space
for higher-priority messages is needed in the send buffer.
Patch 1-3 add some sockopts in sctp to set/get pr_sctp policy status.
Patch 4-6 implement these 3 policies one by one.
