Subject: num_ostreams and max_instreams negotiation

At some point the negotiation of the number of SCTP streams
seems to have got broken.
I've definitely tested it in the past (probably 10 years ago!)
but on a 5.8.0 kernel getsockopt(SCTP_INFO) seems to be
returning the 'num_ostreams' set by setsockopt(SCTP_INIT)
rather than the smaller of that value and that configured
at the other end of the connection.

I'll do a bit of digging.
