There is no __KERNEL__ ifdef protection for these defines,
and the linux/sctp.h header is exported to userspace via
include/linux/Kbuild, therefore the interface is exposed to
userspace and you cannot break it.

Those are the facts.

Your lksctp tool package might provide an alternative header,
that's fine, but it doesn't change the situations with respect
to linux/sctp.h
