Regarding RFC 792, the first 64 bits of the original SCTP datagram's
data could be contained in ICMP packet, such as:

    0                   1                   2                   3
    0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1

   |                             unused                            |

However, according to RFC 4960, SCTP datagram header is as below:

    0                   1                   2                   3
    0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1

   +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
   |                      Verification Tag                         |
   +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
   |                           Checksum                            |
   +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

It means only the first three fields of SCTP header can be carried in
ICMP packet except for Checksum field.

At present in sctp_manip_pkt(), no matter whether the packet is ICMP or
not, it always calculates SCTP packet checksum. However, not only the
calculation of checksum is unnecessary for ICMP, but also it causes
another fatal issue that ICMP packet is dropped. The header size of
SCTP is used to identify whether the writeable length of skb is bigger
than skb->len through skb_make_writable() in sctp_manip_pkt(). But
when it deals with ICMP packet, skb_make_writable() directly returns
false as the writeable length of skb is bigger than skb->len.
Subsequently ICMP is dropped.

Now we correct this misbahavior. When sctp_manip_pkt() handles ICMP
packet, 8 bytes rather than the whole SCTP header size is used to check
if writeable length of skb is overflowed. Meanwhile, as it's meaningless
to calculate checksum when packet is ICMP, the computation of checksum
is ignored as well.
