Ok, we still have the weirdness of when partial deliver is started and 
that can be another patch.  This looks better.  I am still not crazy 
about all the checking of the TSNs at the head of the reassembly queue, 
but this is better then before.

I really might be better to re-work the the return value from 
sctp_ulpq_tail_data().  If we can return 1 if EOR was set, we can remove 
the TSN check in sctp_ulpq_renege().  It would convert that code to 
something like

retval = sctp_ulpq_tail_data(ulpq, chunk, gfp);
if (retval <= 0)
	sctp_ulpq_partial_delivery(ulpq, chunk, gfp);
else if (retval > 0)
	sctp_ulpq_reasm_drain(ulpq);

Just a suggestion.
