Subject: [PATCH v3] net/sctp: Make sha1 as default algorithm if fips is enabled
MD5 is not FIPS compliant. But still md5 was used as the
default algorithm for sctp if fips was enabled.
Due to this, listen() system call in ltp tests was
failing for sctp in fips environment, with below error message.
[ 6397.892677] sctp: failed to load transform for md5: -2
Fix is to not assign md5 as default algorithm for sctp
if fips_enabled is true. Instead make sha1 as default algorithm.
The issue fixes ltp testcase failure "cve-2018-5803 sctp_big_chunk"

v3:
* Resolved hunk failures.
* Changed the ratelimited notice to be more meaningful.
* Used ternary condition for if/else condtion.
v2:
* The listener can still fail if fips mode is enabled after
that the netns is initialized.
* Fixed this in sctp_listen_start() as suggested by
