When a transport recovers due to the new coming sack, SCTP should
iterate all of its transport_list to locate the __two__ most recently used
transport and set to active_path and retran_path respectively. The exising
code does not find the two properly - In case of the following list:
[most-recent] -> [2nd-most-recent] -> ...
Both active_path and retran_path would be set to the 1st element.
The bug happens when:
1) multi-homing
2) failure/partial_failure transport recovers
Both active_path and retran_path would be set to the same most-recent one, in
other words, retran_path would not take its role - an end user might not even
notice this issue.
