Subject: [PATCH] SCTP: Fix Protocol violation when receiving a error length
 INIT ACK

Hi Vlad,
When kernel receives a INIT ACK which has an invalid length, it replies a 0 VerificationTag ABORT.
This violates sctp protocol apparently, and doesn't comply to RFC requirement. VerificationTag 
is allowed to set to 0 only in INIT Chunk packet.
We need to record the VerificationTag from INIT ACK before sending out the ABORT Chunk.

Here is a patch for fixing this bug.
