Subject: linux-3.7.4: kmemleak in sctp_sysctl_net_register()?

Hi,
  today I got the following report from the kernel, looks it happened when
I started/used/quit chromium browser. I haven't seen this with 3.7.1 but
I use builtin kmemleak detector only for 2-3 weeks.

unreferenced object 0xffff880402d08000 (size 2048):
  comm "chrome_sandbox", pid 18437, jiffies 4310887172 (age 9097.630s)
  hex dump (first 32 bytes):

Please let me know if you need more info, like dmesg, .config or other.
Hope this helps.
