net: sctp: implement rfc6458, 5.3.5. SCTP_RCVINFO cmsg support



This patch implements section 5.3.5. of RFC6458, that is, support
for 'SCTP Receive Information Structure' (SCTP_RCVINFO) which is
placed into ancillary data cmsghdr structure for each recvmsg()
call.

This option can be enabled/disabled via setsockopt(2) on SOL_SCTP
level by setting an int value with 1/0 for SCTP_RECVRCVINFO in user
space applications as per RFC6458, section 8.1.29.

The sctp_rcvinfo structure is defined as per RFC as below ...

  struct sctp_rcvinfo {
    uint16_t rcv_sid;
    uint16_t rcv_ssn;
    uint16_t rcv_flags;
    <-- 2 bytes hole  -->
    uint32_t rcv_ppid;
    uint32_t rcv_tsn;
    uint32_t rcv_cumtsn;
    uint32_t rcv_context;
    sctp_assoc_t rcv_assoc_id;
  };

... and provided under cmsg_level IPPROTO_SCTP, cmsg_type
SCTP_RCVINFO, while cmsg_data[] contains struct sctp_rcvinfo.
An sctp_rcvinfo item always corresponds to the data in msg_iov.

Joint work with Daniel Borkmann.
