Re: [PATCH 3/4] [SCTP] Set assoc_id correctly during INIT collision.

During the INIT/COOKIE-ACK collision cases, it's possible to get
into a situation where the association id is not yet set at the time
of the user event generation.  As a result, user events have an
association id set to 0 which will confuse applications.

This happens if we hit case B of duplicate cookie processing.
In the particular example found and provided by Oscar Isaula
[off-list ref], flow looks like this:
A				B
---- INIT------->  (lost)
	    <---------INIT------
---- INIT-ACK--->
	    <------ Cookie ECHO
---
I suspect this changelog message was truncated because the
sign offs are not here, could you regenerate this?

Thanks.
