[PATCH] sctp: avoid NULL pointer dereference in sctp_sf_violation

From: Alexey Khoroshilov <hidden>

Some callers (e.g. sctp_sf_violation_chunk) passes NULL to
asoc argument of sctp_sf_violation. So, it should check it
before calling sctp_vtag_verify().

Probably it could be exploited by a malicious SCTP packet
to cause NULL pointer dereference.

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