This issue occurs when asoc is peeled off and the old sk is freed after
getting sk by asoc->base.sk and before calling lock_sock(sk).

To prevent the ep/sk free, this patch is to call call_rcu to free the ep
and hold it under rcu_read_lock to make sure that sk in sctp_sock_dump
is still alive when calling lock_sock().
Could you clarify a little more where the RCU lock is held, it's not
obvious.
Note that delaying endpint free won't delay the port release, as the port
release happens in sctp_endpoint_destroy() before calling call_rcu().
Also, freeing endpoint by call_rcu() makes it safe to access the sk by
asoc->base.sk in sctp_assocs_seq_show() and sctp_rcv().

Thanks Jones to bring this issue up.
