sctp: silence warns on sctp_stream_init allocations
As SCTP supports up to 65535 streams, that can lead to very large allocations in sctp_stream_init(). As Xin Long noticed, systems with small amounts of memory are more prone to not have enough memory and dump warnings on dmesg initiated by user actions. Thus, silence them. Also, if the reallocation of stream->out is not necessary, skip it and keep the memory we already have.
