The sctp transport seq_file iterators take a reference to the transport
in the ->start and ->next functions and releases the reference in the
->show function.  The preferred handling for such resources is to
release them in the subsequent ->next or ->stop function call.

Since Commit 1f4aace60b0e ("fs/seq_file.c: simplify seq_file iteration
code and interface") there is no guarantee that ->show will be called
after ->next, so this function can now leak references.

So move the sctp_transport_put() call to ->next and ->stop.
