Now __sctp_connect() is called by __sctp_setsockopt_connectx() and sctp_inet_connect(), the latter has done addr_size check with size of sa_family_t. In the next patch to clean up __sctp_connect(), we will remove addr_size check with size of sa_family_t from __sctp_connect() for the 1st address. So before doing that, __sctp_setsockopt_connectx() should do this check first, as sctp_inet_connect() does.
