[SCTP]: Force update of the rto when processing HB-ACK

When processing a HEARTBEAT-ACK it's possible that the transport rto
timers will not be updated because a prior T3-RTX processing would
have cleared the rto_pending flag on the transport.  However, if
we received a valid HEARTBEAT-ACK, we want to force update the
rto variables, so re-set the rto_pending flag before calling
sctp_transport_update_rto().
