sctp: use sk_wmem_queued to check for writable space



sk->sk_wmem_queued is used to count the size of chunks in out queue
while sk->sk_wmem_alloc is for counting the size of chunks has been
sent. sctp is increasing both of them before enqueuing the chunks,
and using sk->sk_wmem_alloc to check for writable space.

However, sk_wmem_alloc is also increased by 1 for the skb allocked
for sending in sctp_packet_transmit() but it will not wake up the
waiters when sk_wmem_alloc is decreased in this skb's destructor.

If msg size is equal to sk_sndbuf and sendmsg is waiting for sndbuf,
the check 'msg_len <= sctp_wspace(asoc)' in sctp_wait_for_sndbuf()
will keep waiting if there's a skb allocked in sctp_packet_transmit,
and later even if this skb got freed, the waiting thread will never
get waked up.

This issue has been there since very beginning, so we change to use
sk->sk_wmem_queued to check for writable space as sk_wmem_queued is
not increased for the skb allocked for sending, also as TCP does.

SOCK_SNDBUF_LOCK check is also removed here as it's for tx buf auto
tuning which I will add in another patch.
