in sctp_stream_free():
.free() will be called one time to free all prios
while .free_sid will be called in a loop to  free all prios:
        for (i = 0; i < stream->outcnt; i++)
               .free_sid(stream, i);

inside either() .free or . free_sid() there is another loop:
for (i = 0; i < stream->outcnt; i++)
    ...

That's why I said using .free() in sctp_stream_free() will be more efficient.

didn't notice init_sid in sctp_stream_init_ext(), it makes sense to
have free_sid in sctp_stream_free_ext().
