Subject: Re: [PATCH] SCTP: Fix kernel panic while received AUTH chunk while
 enabled auth

If STCP is started while /proc/sys/net/sctp/auth_enable is set 0 and 
association is established between endpoints. Then if 
/proc/sys/net/sctp/auth_enable is set 1, a received AUTH chunk will 
cause kernel panic.

Test as following:
step 1: echo 0> /proc/sys/net/sctp/auth_enable
step 2:

   SCTP client                  SCTP server
      INIT          --------->
                    <---------   INIT-ACK
      COOKIE-ECHO   --------->
                    <---------   COOKIE-ACK
step 3:
    echo 1> /proc/sys/net/sctp/auth_enable
step 4:
   SCTP client                  SCTP server
       AUTH        ----------->  Kernel Panic


This patch fix this probleam to treat AUTH chunk as unknow chunk if peer 
has initialized with no auth capable.
