sctp: support vrf processing
This patchset adds the VRF processing in SCTP. Simliar to TCP/UDP,
it includes socket bind and socket/association lookup changes.
For socket bind change, it allows sockets to bind to a VRF device
and allows multiple sockets with the same IP and PORT to bind to
different interfaces in patch 1-3.
For socket/association lookup change, it adds dif and sdif check
in both asoc and ep lookup in patch 4 and 5, and when binding to
nodev, users can decide if accept the packets received from one
l3mdev by setup a sysctl option in patch 6.
Note with VRF support, in a netns, an association will be decided
by src ip + src port + dst ip + dst port + bound_dev_if, and it's
possible for ss to have:
State Local Address:Port Peer Address:Port
ESTAB 192.168.1.2%vrf-s1:1234
`- ESTAB 192.168.1.2%veth1:1234 192.168.1.1:1234
ESTAB 192.168.1.2%vrf-s2:1234
`- ESTAB 192.168.1.2%veth2:1234 192.168.1.1:1234
See the selftest in patch 7 for more usage.
Also, thanks Carlo for testing this patch series on their use.
v1->v2:
- In Patch 5, move sctp_sk_bound_dev_eq() definition to net/sctp/
input.c to avoid a build error when IP_SCTP is disabled, as Paolo
suggested.
- In Patch 7, avoid one sleep by disabling the IPv6 dad, and remove
another sleep by using ss to check if the server's ready, and also
delete two unncessary sleeps in sctp_hello.c, as Paolo suggested.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
