With disabling bh in the whole sctp_get_port_local(), when
snum == 0 and too many ports have been used, the do-while
loop will take the cpu for a long time and cause cpu stuck:

There's no need to disable bh in the whole function of
sctp_get_port_local. So fix this cpu stuck by removing
local_bh_disable() called at the beginning, and using
spin_lock_bh() instead.

The same thing was actually done for inet_csk_get_port() in
Commit ea8add2b1903 ("tcp/dccp: better use of ephemeral
ports in bind()").

Thanks to Marcelo for pointing the buggy code out.

v1->v2:
  - use cond_resched() to yield cpu to other tasks if needed,
    as Eric noticed.
