sctp: not allow transport timeout value less than HZ/5 for hb_timer
[ Upstream commit 1d88ba1e ] syzbot reported a rcu_sched self-detected stall on CPU which is caused by too small value set on rto_min with SCTP_RTOINFO sockopt. With this value, hb_timer will get stuck there, as in its timer handler it starts this timer again with this value, then goes to the timer handler again. This problem is there since very beginning, and thanks to Eric for the reproducer shared from a syzbot mail. This patch fixes it by not allowing sctp_transport_timeout to return a smaller value than HZ/5 for hb_timer, which is based on TCP's min rto. Note that it doesn't fix this issue by limiting rto_min, as some users are still using small rto and no proper value was found for it yet.
