Hyunwoo Kim 03a9d10ecf sctp: drop a chunk if its transport was removed
sctp_rcv() resolves the transport once per packet and leaves it in
chunk->transport. The lookup reference, or the one sctp_add_backlog() takes
if the socket is owned by userspace, keeps it around until the chunk has
been processed.

An authenticated ASCONF DEL-IP can remove it in the meantime.
sctp_assoc_rm_peer() takes the transport out of the association and calls
sctp_transport_free(), which tags it dead and drops the reference the
association held. There is a window on both paths: the packet can sit on
the socket backlog, and on the direct path the lookup completes before
bh_lock_sock().

The DATA chunk in that packet puts the removed transport back into
asoc->peer.last_data_from. Once the packet is done that reference goes
away and the transport is freed by RCU, so the next delayed SACK carries
the pointer into the SACK chunk and sctp_outq_select_transport() reads the
freed transport's state.

Drop the chunk in sctp_inq_push(), next to the existing rcvr->dead check.
Both paths reach it with the association's socket lock held. The peer
retransmits it.
