Subject: [PATCH net] sctp: sctp should release assoc when sctp_make_abort_user return NULL in sctp_close

In sctp_close, sctp_make_abort_user may return NULL because of memory
allocation failure. If this happens, it will bypass any state change
and never free the assoc. The assoc has no chance to be freed and it
will be kept in memory with the state it had even after the socket is
closed by sctp_close().

So if sctp_make_abort_user fails to allocate memory, we should just
free the asoc, as there isn't much else that we can do.
