    Commit f8d96052 ("sctp: Enforce retransmission limit during shutdown")
    fixed a problem with excessive retransmissions in the SHUTDOWN_PENDING by not
    resetting the association overall_error_count.  This allowed the association
    to better enforce assoc.max_retrans limit.
    
    However, the same issue still exists when the association is in SHUTDOWN_RECEIVED
    state.  In this state, HB-ACKs will continue to reset the overall_error_count
    for the association would extend the lifetime of association unnecessarily.
    
    This patch solves this by resetting the overall_error_count whenever the current
    state is small then SCTP_STATE_SHUTDOWN_PENDING.  As a small side-effect, we
    end up also handling SCTP_STATE_SHUTDOWN_ACK_SENT and SCTP_STATE_SHUTDOWN_SENT
    states, but they are not really impacted because we disable Heartbeats in those
    states.
