Subject: [PATCH net-next 1/2] sctp: flush out queue once assoc state falls into SHUTDOWN_PENDING

This patch is to flush out queue when assoc state falls into
SHUTDOWN_PENDING if there are still chunks in it, so that the
data can be sent out as soon as possible before sending SHUTDOWN
chunk.

When sctp supports MSG_MORE flag in next patch, this improvement
can also solve the problem that the chunks with MSG_MORE flag
may be stuck in queue when closing an assoc.
