Subject: [PATCH net v2] sctp: linearize early if it's not GSO
Because otherwise when crc computation is still needed it's way more
expensive than on a linear buffer to the point that it affects
performance.
It's so expensive that netperf test gives a perf output as below:

2,57% netserver [kernel.vmlinux] [k] __pskb_pull_tail

v1->v2:
- Fixed changelog referencing other kernel, spotted by Daniel Borkmann.
Please consider this for stable, as v4.7 is affected. Thanks!
