This is in the light of "sctp: update frag_point when
stream_interleave is set".

Because of
https://www.mail-archive.com/netdev@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg256575.html
This wouldn't have helped because sctp_assoc_update_frag_point()
didn't get called. The issue is not that the calc issued a bad value,
but that it wasn't done.
