netfilter: handle the connecting collision properly in nf_conntrack_proto_sctp

In Scenario A and B below, as the delayed INIT_ACK always changes the peer
vtag, SCTP ct with the incorrect vtag may cause packet loss.

Scenario A: INIT_ACK is delayed until the peer receives its own INIT_ACK

  192.168.1.2 > 192.168.1.1: [INIT] [init tag: 1328086772]
    192.168.1.1 > 192.168.1.2: [INIT] [init tag: 1414468151]
    192.168.1.2 > 192.168.1.1: [INIT ACK] [init tag: 1328086772]
  192.168.1.1 > 192.168.1.2: [INIT ACK] [init tag: 1650211246] *
  192.168.1.2 > 192.168.1.1: [COOKIE ECHO]
    192.168.1.1 > 192.168.1.2: [COOKIE ECHO]
    192.168.1.2 > 192.168.1.1: [COOKIE ACK]

Scenario B: INIT_ACK is delayed until the peer completes its own handshake

  192.168.1.2 > 192.168.1.1: sctp (1) [INIT] [init tag: 3922216408]
    192.168.1.1 > 192.168.1.2: sctp (1) [INIT] [init tag: 144230885]
    192.168.1.2 > 192.168.1.1: sctp (1) [INIT ACK] [init tag: 3922216408]
    192.168.1.1 > 192.168.1.2: sctp (1) [COOKIE ECHO]
    192.168.1.2 > 192.168.1.1: sctp (1) [COOKIE ACK]
  192.168.1.1 > 192.168.1.2: sctp (1) [INIT ACK] [init tag: 3914796021] *

This patch fixes it as below:

In SCTP_CID_INIT processing:
- clear ct->proto.sctp.init[!dir] if ct->proto.sctp.init[dir] &&
  ct->proto.sctp.init[!dir]. (Scenario E)
- set ct->proto.sctp.init[dir].

In SCTP_CID_INIT_ACK processing:
- drop it if !ct->proto.sctp.init[!dir] && ct->proto.sctp.vtag[!dir] &&
  ct->proto.sctp.vtag[!dir] != ih->init_tag. (Scenario B, Scenario C)
- drop it if ct->proto.sctp.init[dir] && ct->proto.sctp.init[!dir] &&
  ct->proto.sctp.vtag[!dir] != ih->init_tag. (Scenario A)

In SCTP_CID_COOKIE_ACK processing:
- clear ct->proto.sctp.init[dir] and ct->proto.sctp.init[!dir].
  (Scenario D)

Also, it's important to allow the ct state to move forward with cookie_echo
and cookie_ack from the opposite dir for the collision scenarios.

There are also other Scenarios where it should allow the packet through,
addressed by the processing above:

Scenario C: new CT is created by INIT_ACK.

Scenario D: start INIT on the existing ESTABLISHED ct.

Scenario E: start INIT after the old collision on the existing ESTABLISHED
ct.

  192.168.1.2 > 192.168.1.1: sctp (1) [INIT] [init tag: 3922216408]
  192.168.1.1 > 192.168.1.2: sctp (1) [INIT] [init tag: 144230885]
  (both side are stopped, then start new connection again in hours)
  192.168.1.2 > 192.168.1.1: sctp (1) [INIT] [init tag: 242308742]
