This code would be functionally equivalent to the v1 patchset for the
client side, but on server side you want to set newsksec->secid to
asoc->secid, as this contains the "connection secid" computed by
selinux_conn_sid() in selinux_sctp_assoc_request(). This is supposed
to mirror what selinux_inet_conn_request() -> selinux_inet_csk_clone()
does for non-SCTP sockets. So I think we should rather go back to the
v1 patchset variant, where the parent socket's sid is stashed in
asoc->secid to be picked up by selinux_sctp_sk_clone().

As for the sctp_do_peeloff-calls-sock_create problem - I was oblivious
about the difference between the sock vs. socket structs, so this
would be a bit more difficult to fix than replacing one function call.
But if we end up just overwriting the label assigned in
selinux_socket_post_create() as it is now, then the only difference is
an unexpected SCTP_SOCKET__CREATE permission check and a pointless
computation of socket_sockcreate_sid(), so it can be addressed
separately. I'll try to suggest a patch and then we can discuss
whether it makes sense or not.
