Subject: [RFC net-next 1/1] : sctp: denoise deprecation log on SCTP_EVENTS

In the newer kernels this message is extremely noisy. After a quick
discussion with Daniel it seems to me it will be very hard to get
existing apps that nobody is going to update to continue to work
(i.e no forward compat). And newer apps that desire to play in both
older kernels and new kernels will have to play some tricks to work
(i.e weak backward compatibility).  These are good reasons
to totally get rid of this message. At minimal to neutre it.
The attached change tries to do that. However, if you had multiple
apps, you will only get warning for the first one.

Will send proper patch when theres some consensus.

cheers,
jamal
