Re: [PATCH] sctp: initialize endpoint LSM labels also on the client side

The secid* fields in struct sctp_endpoint are used to initialize the
labels of a peeloff socket created from the given association. Currently
they are initialized properly when a new association is created on the
server side (upon receiving an INIT packet), but not on the client side.

As a result, when the client obtains a peeloff socket via
sctp_peeloff(3) under SELinux, it ends up unlabeled, leading to
unexpected denials.

Fix this by calling the security_sctp_assoc_request() hook also upon
receiving a valid INIT-ACK response from the server, so that the
endpoint labels are properly initialized also on the client side.

See also the selinux-testsuite [1] patch [2] that verifies this fix
(i.e. the new tests fail without this patch and pass with it). Not
being very familiar with SCTP, I'm not 100% sure if this fix is
correct or complete, so reviews are very much welcome.
