When calculating ancestor_size with IPv6 enabled, simply using
sizeof(struct ipv6_pinfo) doesn't account for extra bytes needed for
alignment in the struct sctp6_sock. On x86, there aren't any extra
bytes, but on ARM the ipv6_pinfo structure is aligned on an 8-byte
boundary so there were 4 pad bytes that were omitted from the
ancestor_size calculation.  This would lead to corruption of the
pd_lobby pointers, causing an oops when trying to free the sctp
structure on socket close.
Makes sense.

Then, as this patch is actually fixing the aforementioned commit,
please also update the comment on sctp_sock definition, as pd_lobby
now is also skipped.

As you probably noticed by the build bot email already, there need to
be some protection to building without IPv6 enabled.

To avoid ifdefs here, something similar to how
inet_sk_copy_descendant() is done is probably welcomed, but please
feel free to be creative. :-)
