[2.6.22.2 review 08/84] SCTP scope_id handling fix

[Greg KH <gregkh@suse.de>]

From: Vlad Yasevich <vladislav.yasevich@hp.com>

SCTP: Add scope_id validation for link-local binds

SCTP currently permits users to bind to link-local addresses,
but doesn't verify that the scope id specified at bind matches
the interface that the address is configured on.  It was report
that this can hang a system.
