Subject: sctp: sctp_addr_id2transport should verify the addr before looking up assoc

From: Xin Long <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit 6f29a130613191d3c6335169febe002cba00edf5 ]

sctp_addr_id2transport is a function for sockopt to look up assoc by address. As the address is from userspace, it can be a v4-mapped v6 address. But in sctp protocol stack, it always handles a v4-mapped v6 address as a v4 address. So it's necessary to convert it to a v4 address before looking up assoc by address.

This patch is to fix it by calling sctp_verify_addr in which it can do this conversion before calling sctp_endpoint_lookup_assoc, just like what sctp_sendmsg and __sctp_connect do for the address from users.
