Subject: [PATCH net v2] net: sctp: sctp_transport_destroy{,_rcu}: fix potential pointer corruption

Probably this one is quite unlikely to be triggered, but it's more safe
to hold a pointer to asoc (instead of dereferencing), free the packet
chunks first, and access asoc though the pointer after we have called
sctp_transport_destroy_rcu() where the transport is being kfree()'d.
Introduced by commit 8c98653f ("sctp: sctp_close: fix release of bindings
for deferred call_rcu's"). I also did the 8c98653f regression test and
it's fine that way.
