[LTP] [PATCH] cve/sctphantom: fix EINVAL on pre-v4.19 kernels

From: Andrea Cervesato <andrea.cervesato@suse.com>

The test passed its 156 byte mirror of struct sctp_paddrparams, which
includes the spp_ipv6_flowlabel and spp_dscp tail, to
SCTP_PEER_ADDR_PARAMS. Kernels older than v4.19 only accept
optlen == sizeof(struct sctp_paddrparams), which is 152 there, so the
setsockopt() failed and the test broke:

    sctphantom.c:361: TBROK: setsockopt(6, 132, 9, 0x..., 156) failed: EINVAL (22)

Drop the tail fields from the mirrored struct so that the option length
matches the pre-v4.19 layout. That length is also accepted by v4.19 and
newer kernels as the compat size introduced along with the tail fields
by upstream commit 0b0dce7a36fb ("sctp: add spp_ipv6_flowlabel and
spp_dscp for sctp_paddrparams"), provided the SPP_DSCP and
SPP_IPV6_FLOWLABEL flags are not set, which the test never does.
