====================
net/sctp: Avoid allocating high order memory with kmalloc()
Each SCTP association can have up to 65535 input and output streams.
For each stream type an array of sctp_stream_in or sctp_stream_out
structures is allocated using kmalloc_array() function. This function
allocates physically contiguous memory regions, so this can lead
to allocation of memory regions of very high order, i.e.:
sizeof(struct sctp_stream_out) == 24,
((65535 * 24) / 4096) == 383 memory pages (4096 byte per page),
which means 9th memory order.
This can lead to a memory allocation failures on the systems
under a memory stress.
We actually do not need these arrays of memory to be physically
contiguous. Possible simple solution would be to use kvmalloc()
instread of kmalloc() as kvmalloc() can allocate physically scattered
pages if contiguous pages are not available. But the problem
is that the allocation can happed in a softirq context with
GFP_ATOMIC flag set, and kvmalloc() cannot be used in this scenario.
So the other possible solution is to use flexible arrays instead of
contiguios arrays of memory so that the memory would be allocated
on a per-page basis.
This patchset replaces kvmalloc() with flex_array usage.
It consists of two parts:
* First patch is preparatory - it mechanically wraps all direct
access to assoc->stream.out[] and assoc->stream.in[] arrays
with SCTP_SO() and SCTP_SI() wrappers so that later a direct
array access could be easily changed to an access to a
flex_array (or any other possible alternative).
* Second patch replaces kmalloc_array() with flex_array usage.
v2 changes:
sctp_stream_in() users are updated to provide stream as an argument,
sctp_stream_{in,out}_ptr() are now just sctp_stream_{in,out}().
v3 changes:
Move type chages struct sctp_stream_out -> flex_array to next patch.
Make sctp_stream_{in,out}() static incline and move them to a header.

* netperf: taken from https://github.com/HewlettPackard/netperf.git,
compiled from sources with sctp support
* netperf server and client are run on the same node
* ip link set lo mtu 1500
