This patch implements section 5.3.5. of RFC6458, that is, support
for 'SCTP Receive Information Structure' (SCTP_RCVINFO) which is
placed into ancillary data cmsghdr structure for each recvmsg()
call.

This option can be enabled/disabled via setsockopt(2) on SOL_SCTP
level by setting an int value with 1/0 for SCTP_RECVRCVINFO in user
space applications as per RFC6458, section 8.1.29.

The sctp_rcvinfo structure is defined as per RFC as below ...

   struct sctp_rcvinfo {
     uint16_t rcv_sid;
     uint16_t rcv_ssn;
     uint16_t rcv_flags;
     <-- 2 bytes hole  -->
     uint32_t rcv_ppid;
     uint32_t rcv_tsn;
     uint32_t rcv_cumtsn;
     uint32_t rcv_context;
     sctp_assoc_t rcv_assoc_id;
   };

... and provided under cmsg_level IPPROTO_SCTP, cmsg_type
SCTP_RCVINFO, while cmsg_data[] contains struct sctp_rcvinfo.
An sctp_rcvinfo item always corresponds to the data in msg_iov.

Joint work with Daniel Borkmann.

Sorry for the late answer, as I'm on travel this week.

This gets called for every receive data chunk (since the user needs to
verify the ssn and stream).

It really ought to be possible to write the 'cmsg' data with quite so
many memory accesses.

Perhaps you should add named fields for the pads so they can be explicitly zeroed.

I really dislike the idea to put padding members into a uapi struct, we
should stick to the RFC though it specified it with holes in the struct.
