SCTP incorrectly doubles rto ever time a Hearbeat chunk
is generated.   However RFC 4960 states:

   On an idle destination address that is allowed to heartbeat, it is
   recommended that a HEARTBEAT chunk is sent once per RTO of that
   destination address plus the protocol parameter 'HB.interval', with
   jittering of +/- 50% of the RTO value, and exponential backoff of the
   RTO if the previous HEARTBEAT is unanswered.

Essentially, of if the heartbean is unacknowledged, do we double the RTO.
