linux sctp now doesn't yet support "interleave", it believes the chunks /
fragmenteds from the same msg have continuous / consistent TSNs.
That's why it can ignore the ssn and only care about tsn and flag
when reasm fragmenteds.

we will improve it when implementing "interleave" soon, thanks for reporting.
