From: Xin Long lucien.xin@gmail.com

[ Upstream commit 625637bf4afa45204bd87e4218645182a919485a ]

After introducing sctp_stream structure, sctp uses stream->outcnt as the out stream nums instead of c.sinit_num_ostreams.

However when users use sinit in cmsg, it only updates c.sinit_num_ostreams in sctp_sendmsg. At that moment, stream->outcnt is still using previous value. If it's value is not updated, the sinit_num_ostreams of sinit could not really work.

This patch is to fix it by updating stream->outcnt and reiniting stream if stream outcnt has been change by sinit in sendmsg.
