Subject: [PATCH] Fix SCTP failure with ipv6 source address routing

From: Weixing Shi <Weixing.Shi@...driver.com>

Given the below test case, using source address routing, SCTP
does not work.

Node-A:
  1)ifconfig eth0 inet6 add 2001:1::1/64
  2)ip -6 rule add from 2001:1::1 table 100 pref 100
  3)ip -6 route add 2001:2::1 dev eth0 table 100
  4)sctp_darn -H 2001:1::1 -P 250 -l &

Node-B:
  1)ifconfig eth0 inet6 add 2001:2::1/64
  2)ip -6 rule add from 2001:2::1 table 100 pref 100
  3)ip -6 route add 2001:1::1 dev eth0 table 100
  4)sctp_darn -H 2001:2::1 -P 250 -h 2001:1::1 -p 250 -s

Root cause:
  Node-A and Node-B use source address routing, and in the
  begining, the source address will be NULL.  So SCTP will search
  the routing table by the destination address (because it is using
  the source address routing table), and hence the resulting dst_entry
  will be NULL.

Solution:
  After SCTP gets the correct source address, then we search for
  dst_entry again, and then we will get the correct value.
