Subject: [PATCH] net/sctp: fix a null dereference in sctp_disposition sctp_sf_do_5_1D_ce()

From: Alexandr Sapozhnikov <alsp705@...il.com>

If new_asoc->peer.adaptation_ind=0 and sctp_ulpevent_make_authkey=0 
and sctp_ulpevent_make_authkey() returns 0, then the variable 
ai_ev remains zero and the zero will be dereferenced 
in the sctp_ulpevent_free() function.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
