Subject: [PATCH net] sctp: fix sleep in atomic context bug in timer handlers

There are sleep in atomic context bugs in timer handlers of sctp
such as sctp_generate_t3_rtx_event(), sctp_generate_probe_event(),
sctp_generate_t1_init_event(), sctp_generate_timeout_event(),
sctp_generate_t3_rtx_event() and so on.

The root cause is sctp_sched_prio_init_sid() with GFP_KERNEL parameter
that may sleep could be called by different timer handlers which is in
interrupt context.

One of the call paths that could trigger bug is shown below:

(interrupt context)
sctp_generate_probe_event
sctp_do_sm
sctp_side_effects
sctp_cmd_interpreter
sctp_outq_teardown
sctp_outq_init
sctp_sched_set_sched
n->init_sid(..,GFP_KERNEL)
sctp_sched_prio_init_sid //may sleep

This patch changes gfp_t parameter of init_sid in sctp_sched_set_sched()
from GFP_KERNEL to GFP_ATOMIC in order to prevent sleep in atomic
context bugs.

This sequence is odd but it is used when handling dup cookies. It
tears down whatever was in there and re-inits it. With that,
