sorry Dave, though I had sent email on that already.

I had an initial concern that there could be a race in which a previous
iteration of sctp_outq_flush would move some chunks to a packet, but not flush
it to the network layer yet (due to not being full), and that would result in
the same condition.  But since this only happens with a COOKIE_ECHO chunk (which
is a control chunk), we should be ok, as those are sent immediately.
