[51/68] sctp: Do not reset the packet during sctp_packet_config().

[Greg KH]

2.6.32-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Vlad Yasevich <vladislav.yasevich@xxxxxx>

commit 4bdab43323b459900578b200a4b8cf9713ac8fab upstream.

sctp_packet_config() is called when getting the packet ready
for appending of chunks.  The function should not touch the
current state, since it's possible to ping-pong between two
transports when sending, and that can result packet corruption
followed by skb overlfow crash.
