I have a slight concern here that if we change state last, then any data
that may have been bundled with COOKIE-ACK as part of CMD_REPLY will get
the SACK_IMMEDIATE flag set since we are still in the SHUTDOWN_PENDING
state.

I would be more correct (and would match sctp_sf_do_5_1D_ce) to
do it in this order:
UPDATE_ASSOC - resets all the congestion/association variables
EVENT_UP - send RESTART to USER
NEW_STATE - set ESTABLISHED state (as per spec)
REPLY - Send cookie-ack along with any pending data.
