1ba896f6f5 sctp: remove extern from stream sched
Now each stream sched ops is defined in different .c file and
added into the global ops in another .c file, it uses extern
to make this work.

However extern is not good coding style to get them in and
even make C=2 reports errors for this.

This patch adds sctp_sched_ops_xxx_init for each stream sched
ops in their .c file, then get them into the global ops by
calling them when initializing sctp module.

Fixes: ac1ed8b82c ("sctp: introduce round robin stream scheduler")

637784ade2 sctp: introduce priority based stream scheduler
This patch introduces RFC Draft ndata section 3.4 Priority Based
Scheduler (SCTP_SS_PRIO).

It works by having a struct sctp_stream_priority for each priority
configured. This struct is then enlisted on a queue ordered per priority
if, and only if, there is a stream with data queued, so that dequeueing
is very straightforward: either finish current datamsg or simply dequeue
from the highest priority queued, which is the next stream pointed, and
that's it.

If there are multiple streams assigned with the same priority and with
data queued, it will do round robin amongst them while respecting
datamsgs boundaries (when not using idata chunks), to be reasonably
fair.

We intentionally don't maintain a list of priorities nor a list of all
streams with the same priority to save memory. The first would mean at
least 2 other pointers per priority (which, for 1000 priorities, that
can mean 16kB) and the second would also mean 2 other pointers but per
stream. As SCTP supports up to 65535 streams on a given asoc, that's
1MB. This impacts when giving a priority to some stream, as we have to
find out if the new priority is already being used and if we can free
the old one, and also when tearing down.

The new fields in struct sctp_stream_out_ext and sctp_stream are added
under a union because that memory is to be shared with other schedulers.
