The idea was whenever asoc->pathmtu changes,  frag_point should
be updated, but we missed one place in sctp_association_init().

Another issue is after 4-shakehand, the client's asoc->intl_enable
may be changed from 0 to 1, which means the frag_point should
also be updated, since [1]:

void sctp_assoc_update_frag_point(struct sctp_association *asoc)
{
        int frag = sctp_mtu_payload(sctp_sk(asoc->base.sk), asoc->pathmtu,
                                    sctp_datachk_len(&asoc->stream)); <--- [1]

So one fix for both issues is:

diff --git a/net/sctp/stream_interleave.c b/net/sctp/stream_interleave.c
index 0a78cdf..19d596d 100644

This won't happen if we sync frag_point on time like the above.
