[PATCH net] sctp: make sctp_setsockopt_events() less strict about the option length

[Julien Gomes]

Make sctp_setsockopt_events() able to accept sctp_event_subscribe
structures longer than the current definitions.

This should prevent unjustified setsockopt() failures due to struct
sctp_event_subscribe extensions (as in 4.11 and 4.12) when using
binaries that should be compatible, but were built with later kernel
uapi headers.
