sctp support

[conorlennon]

I'm trying to get sctp to work in CentOS 8
As far as I can see the sctp kernel module is not available in any of the available rpms

$ checksctp
checksctp: Protocol not supported

# modprobe sctp
modprobe: FATAL: Module sctp not found in directory /lib/modules/4.18.0-80.7.1.el8_0.x86_64

# yum whatprovides sctp.ko
Error: No Matches found

It turns out that the kernel-modules-extra package provides the sctp kernel module.

However, that package blacklists the module.

Deleting the /etc/modprobe.d/sctp-blacklist.conf file removes the black listing of sctp.
