I see a few more calls to sctp_compute_cksum() in the netfilter tree.
I guess they are broken too.

In netfilter, skb->transport_header is never set from the input path,
I think this introduces an assymmetry with other transport protocols.

May we have a variant of sctp_compute_cksum() which does not rely on
sctp_hdr() instead?
