sctp: Fix MAC comparison to be constant-time

commit dd91c79e4f58fbe2898dac84858033700e0e99fb upstream.

To prevent timing attacks, MACs need to be compared in constant time.
Use the appropriate helper function for this.

Fixes: bbd0d59809 ("[SCTP]: Implement the receive and verification of AUTH chunk")
Fixes: 1da177e4c3 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
