This works, but what might be better would be if we did a move to front
heuristic in sctp_assoc_set_primary.  E.g. when we set the active_path, move the
requisite transport to the front of the transport_addr_list.  If we did that,
then we could just do one for loop in sctp_assoc_lookup_tsn and wind up
implicitly check the active path first without having to check it seprately and
skip it in the second for loop.
