sctp: Prevent uninitialized memory access

valgrind reports uninizialized memory accesses when running
sctp inside the network simulation cradle simulator:

 Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s)

#1 is due to "if (t->pmtu_pending)".
8a479491

 "[SCTP] Flag a pmtu change request"
suggests it should be initialized to 0.

#2 is the heartbeat timer 'expires' value, which is uninizialised, but
test by mod_timer().
T3_rtx_timer seems to be affected by the same problem, so initialize it, too.
