Using param.v before the loop made sense but after the loop, it will
cause all packets that hits here to be reject due to the check below.

   this one    -----^

Maybe it's easier if you put this check inside the loop for each ipv4/6,
and check if it is the first parameter or not by mimicing the way
sctp_walk_params() finds the first chunk, it's just a pointer
derreference and that was already checked and performed to reach there.

(You can have some logic with addr_param_seen so you don't catch the
multiple parameters in there.)
