[LTP] [PATCH v2] sctp_big_chunk: Do not use md5 hmac algo if fips is enabled

MD5 is not FIPS compliant. But still md5 is used as the default algorithm for sctp
even when fips is enabled. Due to this, sctp_big_chunk testcase is failing because listen()
system call in setup_server() is failing in fips environment.

Fix is to not use md5 algorithm while setting up server, instead set it to none

v2:
As per the review comments given by Petr, did below changes in v2,
        * Moved the logic to sctp_server() function
        * Setting none as the default algo
        * make sure cookie_hmac_alg file is present before accessing it
