I see ...

commit 8ae808eb853e3789b81b8a502cdf22bb01b76880
Author: Xin Long <lucien.xin@gmail.com>
Date:   Sat Oct 8 11:40:16 2016 +0800

    sctp: remove the old ttl expires policy

ttl expire is considered as one of the prsctp policies after
this commit, so prsctp_enable is required. I will think to
update this test case in lksctp-tools.

Thanks for the reproducer.
