Subject: [PATCH 3.18 39/49] ipv6: sctp: fix lockdep splat in sctp_v6_get_dst()

3.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...gle.com>

commit 69ce6487dcd364245a3d26322fc8f4ffd1e8d947 upstream.

While cooking the sctp np->opt rcu fixes, I forgot to move
one rcu_read_unlock() after the added rcu_dereference() in
sctp_v6_get_dst()

This gave lockdep warnings reported by Dave Jones.

Fixes: c836a8ba9386 ("ipv6: sctp: add rcu protection around np->opt")
