Subject: [PATCH net] sctp: fix the issue that a __u16 variable may overflow in sctp_ulpq_renege

Now when reneging events in sctp_ulpq_renege(), the variable freed
could be increased by a __u16 value twice while freed is of __u16
type. It means freed may overflow at the second addition.

This patch is to fix it by using __u32 type for 'freed', while at
it, also to remove 'if (chunk)' check, as all renege commands are
generated in sctp_eat_data and it can't be NULL.
