Overall I'm fine with these changes, but three things need to happen
before I can think about applying this:

1) Address David's feedback about the ip_mtu*() calls that can occur
   on ipv6 sockets too.

2) Handle the feedback about dlm now bringing in sctp even if sctp
   sockets are not even used because of the symbol dependency.

3) Add the rxrpc documentation requested by David.

Thank you.
