Subject: [PATCH 2/2] dlm: avoid using sctp_do_peeloff directly

This patch reverts 2f2d76cc3e93 ("dlm: Do not allocate a fd for
peeloff") but also takes benefit on an updated sockopt
SCTP_SOCKOPT_PEELOFF, which now avoids allocating file descriptors for
kernel users.

By this we avoid creating a direct dependency from dlm to sctp module,
which can then be left unloaded if dlm is not really using it.

Note that this was preferred other than a module split as it once was
split and was merged back in 2007 by commit 6ed7257b4670 ("[DLM]
Consolidate transport protocols") so that we don't revert it.
