sctp: fix the issue that flags are ignored when using kernel_connect
Now sctp uses inet_dgram_connect as its proto_ops .connect, and the flags param can't be passed into its proto .connect where this flags is really needed. sctp works around it by getting flags from socket file in __sctp_connect. It works for connecting from userspace, as inherently the user sock has socket file and it passes f_flags as the flags param into the proto_ops .connect. However, the sock created by sock_create_kern doesn't have a socket file, and it passes the flags (like O_NONBLOCK) by using the flags param in kernel_connect, which calls proto_ops .connect later. So to fix it, this patch defines a new proto_ops .connect for sctp, sctp_inet_connect, which calls __sctp_connect() directly with this flags param. After this, the sctp's proto .connect can be removed. Note that sctp_inet_connect doesn't need to do some checks that are not needed for sctp, which makes thing better than with inet_dgram_connect.
