It depends on what we want the return value to mean.  In the case where we've reneged
to be able to put in a packet, we know that the incoming packet is the next one we're
looking for.  In which case, the earlier test is correct, since this will be the next
event.

In general, the event that's being passed to sctp_ulpq_order() might not be the
next event.  In that case, sctp_ulpq_order() will call sctp_ulpq_store_ordered()
and return NULL.  Only at the last "if (event)" can we really be sure that an event
is being passed to the ULP.

In general, do we want to return 1 if a complete event is actually passed to the ULP?
Or, do we want to return 1 if we've seen a complete event come from reassembly?
