Subject: [PATCH net-next 5/5] sctp: Add validity check for SCTP_PARTIAL_DELIVERY_POINT socket option

From: Wei Yongjun <yjwei@...fujitsu.com>

The latest ietf socket extensions API draft said:

  8.1.21.  Set or Get the SCTP Partial Delivery Point

    Note also that the call will fail if the user attempts to set
    this value larger than the socket receive buffer size.

This patch add this validity check for SCTP_PARTIAL_DELIVERY_POINT
socket option.
