With this patch it is possible to run sctp_put_port while the socket
is not locked.

The flow goes something like this:

sctp_close()
   sk_bh_lock_sock();
   sk_common_release()
     sctp_destroy_sock()
       endpoint_put()
         endpoint_destroy() <-- This is where we used to do sctp_put_port
   sk_bh_unlock_sock();
   sock_put()
     sk_free()
       __sk_free()
         sctp_destruct_sock()
           sctp_put_port()


I haven't found any race conditions yet, but that doesn't mean they 
don't exist.

I think an easy solution would be to do sctp_put_port in sctp_unhash(),
but I haven't traced all the paths.

Daniel, please take a look at this.

Thanks
