    sctp: properly latch and use autoclose value from sock to association · 9f70f46b

    Currently, sctp associations latch a sockets autoclose value to an association
    at association init time, subject to capping constraints from the max_autoclose
    sysctl value.  This leads to an odd situation where an application may set a
    socket level autoclose timeout, but sliently sctp will limit the autoclose
    timeout to something less than that.
    
    Fix this by modifying the autoclose setsockopt function to check the limit, cap
    it and warn the user via syslog that the timeout is capped.  This will allow
    getsockopt to return valid autoclose timeout values that reflect what subsequent
    associations actually use.
    
    While were at it, also elimintate the assoc->autoclose variable, it duplicates
    whats in the timeout array, which leads to multiple sources for the same
    information, that may differ (as the former isn't subject to any capping).  This
    gives us the timeout information in a canonical place and saves some space in
    the association structure as well.
