Note that this is on the client side. It was handling the INIT_ACK
chunk, from sctp_sf_do_5_1C_ack().

I'm not seeing anything else other than sctp_association_free()
releasing this memory. This means 2 things:
- Every time the cookie is retransmitted, it leaks. As shown by the
  repetitive leaks here.
- The cookie remains allocated throughout the association, which is
  also not good as that's a 1k that we could have released back to the
  system right after the handshake.
