SCTP module was not load by default. But this should be OK since we will not
load table if fdopen() failed.

This seems like a bad idea for the normal distro user.
If they run nstat command the SCTP kernel module would get loaded even
if never used.

Makes more sense not to display SCTP statistics if it isn't loaded.

Never mind, opening the proc file won't load SCTP kernel module.
