I just think it's not correct to include "net/sctp/sctp.h" if one doesn't
depend on SCTP module. I'd rather consider "net/sctp/sctp.h" as
part of SCTP module.

I can fix it by simply moving this function to like net/sctp/input.c, it
just doesn't look good. Anyway, maybe I will do it to solve the build
error in the current patch first.

Thanks.
