The decision to delay due to Nagle should be based on the path mtu
and future packet size.  We currently incorrectly base it on
'frag_point' which is the SCTP DATA segment size, and also we do
not count DATA chunk header overhead in the computation.  This
actuall allows situations where a user can set low 'frag_point',
and then send small messages without delay.
