Are you sure you are right?

First I am sorry for stupid patch, second I said again, I do test it, 
but do not enough test.

uninitialized pointer is not NULL pointer, so it not kernel panic when 
use "addr_param->v4.param_hdr.type", this patch cause function alaways 
return SCTP_ERROR_INV_PARAM error, so even if I add IPv6 address to peer 
which not supported IPv6 address or add IPv4 address to peer which not 
supported IPv4 address is returned SCTP_ERROR_INV_PARAM, and passed my 
test case.
I not do test add IPv4/IPv6 address to peer which supported IPv4/IPv6 
address, this is my fault .
