This is a too simple description.  Please elaborate how this can
happen in sctp_wfree. Especially considering the construct for
migrating the tx queue on sctp_sock_migrate(), as both sockets are
locked while moving the chunks around and the asoc itself is only
moved in between decrementing and incrementing the refcount:

        lock_sock_nested(newsk, SINGLE_DEPTH_NESTING);
        sctp_for_each_tx_datachunk(assoc, sctp_clear_owner_w);
        sctp_assoc_migrate(assoc, newsk);
        sctp_for_each_tx_datachunk(assoc, sctp_set_owner_w);
	...

I can't see a positive test result, though. If I didn't loose any
email, your last test with a patch similar to this one actually
failed.
I'm talking about syzbot test result at Message-ID: <000000000000e7736205a0e041f5@...gle.com>
