net: sctp: Fix data chunk fragmentation for MTU values which are not multiple of 4

Initially the problem was observed with ipsec, but later it became clear that
SCTP data chunk fragmentation algorithm has problems with MTU values which are
not multiple of 4. Test program was used which just transmits 2000 bytes long
packets to other host. tcpdump was used to observe re-fragmentation in IP layer
after SCTP already fragmented data chunks.

With MTU 1500:
