Subject: sctp: sctp_transport_lookup_process should rcu_read_unlock when transport is null

From: Xin Long <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit 08abb79542c9e8c367d1d8e44fe1026868d3f0a7 ]

Prior to this patch, sctp_transport_lookup_process didn't rcu_read_unlock when it failed to find a transport by sctp_addrs_lookup_transport.

This patch is to fix it by moving up rcu_read_unlock right before checking transport and also to remove the out path.
