Subject: [PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 122/129] sctp: allow setting SCTP_SACK_IMMEDIATELY by the application

3.16.7-ckt25 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

From: Marcelo Ricardo Leitner <marcelo.leitner@...il.com>

commit 27f7ed2b11d42ab6d796e96533c2076ec220affc upstream.

This patch extends commit b93d6471748d ("sctp: implement the sender side
for SACK-IMMEDIATELY extension") as it didn't white list
SCTP_SACK_IMMEDIATELY on sctp_msghdr_parse(), causing it to be
understood as an invalid flag and returning -EINVAL to the application.

Note that the actual handling of the flag is already there in
sctp_datamsg_from_user().
