[PATCH net-next] sctp: check ep asocs list before access

Add list_empty() check before accessing first entry of ep->asocs list
in sctp_sock_filter(), which is not gauranteed to have an entry.

Fixes: 8f840e47f190 ("sctp: add the sctp_diag.c file")

The list_entry on an empty list creates a type confused pointer.
While using it is undefined behavior, in this case it seems there
is no big risk, as the `tsp->asoc != assoc` check will almost
certainly fail on the type confused pointer.
We report this bug also since it may hide further problems since
the code seems to assume a non-empty `ep->asocs`.

We were able to trigger sctp_sock_filter() using syzkaller, and
cause a panic inserting `BUG_ON(list_empty(&ep->asocs))`, so the
list may actually be empty.
But we were not able to minimize our testcase and understand how
sctp_sock_filter may end up with an empty asocs list.
We suspect a race condition between a connecting sctp socket
and the diag query.

We attach the stacktrace when triggering the injected
`BUG_ON(list_empty(&ep->asocs))`:
