sctp: Send user messages to the lower layer as one
Currenlty, sctp breaks up user messages into fragments and sends each fragment to the lower layer by itself. This means that for each fragment we go all the way down the stack and back up. This also discourages bundling of multiple fragments when they can fit into a sigle packet (ex: due to user setting a low fragmentation threashold). We introduce a new command SCTP_CMD_SND_MSG and hand the whole message down state machine. The state machine and the side-effect parser will cork the queue, add all chunks from the message to the queue, and then un-cork the queue thus causing the chunks to get transmitted.
