[PATCH] net/i40e: fix symmetric toeplitz hashing for SCTP

When symmetric toeplitz is configured for SCTP, packets belonging
to the same SCTP session are getting distributed to multiple queues
due to improper hash computation.

Removed SCTP Verification Tag from hash computation of symmetric toeplitz
as it changes for same SCTP session.

Tested the following with the fix & enabling symmetric toeplitz for SCTP:-
1. Packets belonging to the same SCTP session getting into the same queue.
2. Packets belonging to the different SCTP sessions getting distributed
to multiple queues.
