This patch is needed by the AF-independent approach to provide DCCPv4/6
ECN support. Since this approach handles ECN at in the module, the patch
disables user-side manipulation of ECN bits via TOS/TCLASS.

However, it also fixes a bug occurring in SCTPv6: when passing values that
contain 0x1 in the ECN bits, the internal value of ECT(0) gets turned into
0x3 = CE, i.e. it suggests to the other side that congestion was experienced.

I am working on these issues and would greatly appreciate feedback/suggestions.
(NB - not touched datagram_send_ctl(), since it is used only by udpv6/rawv6).

An alternative for modifying ECN bits in user space is in a subsequent patch.
