Is this memset() needed?

This patch is not changing it, so feel free to propose one. If you zero
out the remaining fields only used for rx, you should be able to drop it,
but I guess all these micro-optimizations won't be that visible when we
have much more fundamental things to solve in SCTP stack's performance.

Maybe keep the parameters in a 'sinfo' structure within the 'asoc' ?

I think asocs and other SCTP structs are already 'fat' and use up too
many cachelines, they rather need a diet and some careful analysis on
access patterns.
