Xin Long 1eed677933 sctp: fix the transport dead race check by using atomic_add_unless on refcnt
Now when __sctp_lookup_association is running in BH, it will try to
check if t->dead is set, but meanwhile other CPUs may be freeing this
transport and this assoc and if it happens that
__sctp_lookup_association checked t->dead a bit too early, it may think
that the association is still good while it was already freed.

So we fix this race by using atomic_add_unless in sctp_transport_hold.
After we get one transport from hashtable, we will hold it only when
this transport's refcnt is not 0, so that we can make sure t->asoc
cannot be freed before we hold the asoc again.

Note that sctp association is not freed using RCU so we can't use
atomic_add_unless() with it as it may just be too late for that either.

Fixes: 4f00878126 ("sctp: apply rhashtable api to send/recv path")
