[SCTP]: Always linearise packet on input

I'll apply this, thanks a lot.
Sridhar, could you please organise an audit of SCTP to make sure
that it deals with skb fragments (both pages and frag_list) in a
safe manner? Basically before you do an skb_pull or access skb->data
you must ensure that the data you want to access is in the head,
usually by doing skb_may_pull.  Of course, for large payloads it
helps if you can avoid pulling it into the head.
Of course, you mean "pskb_may_pull" here.
:-)
