sctp: Generate SACKs when actually sending outbound DATA

We are now trying to bundle SACKs when we have outbound
DATA to send.  However, there are situations where this
outbound DATA will not be sent (due to congestion or 
available window).  In such cases it's ok to wait for the
timer to expire.  This patch refactors the sending code
so that betfore attempting to bundle the SACK we check
to see if the DATA will actually be transmitted.

Based on eirlier works for Doug Graham <dgraham@nortel.com> and
Wei Youngjun <yjwei@cn.fujitsu.com>.
