Subject: [PATCH][RFC] sctp: fix reporting of unknown parameters

Hi,

commit 5fa782c2f5ef6c2e4f04d3e228412c9b4a4c8809 re-worked the 
handling of unknown parameters. sctp_init_cause_fixed() can now
return -ENOSPC if there is not enough tailroom in the error
chunk skb. When this happens, the error header is not appended to
the error chunk. In that case, the payload of the unknown parameter
should not be appended either.
