[SCTP]: Validate the parameter length in HB-ACK chunk.

If SCTP receives a badly formatted HB-ACK chunk, it is possible
that we may access invalid memory and potentially have a buffer
overflow.  We should really make sure that the chunk format is
what we expect, before attempting to touch the data.
