Yes, you are right. This was originally intended to handle the case when
a HEARTBEAT in the reply direction is seen before the HEARTBEAT-ACK but
such HEARTBEAT would be dropped anyway in current version.

On the other hand, an alternative would be

		} else if (sch->type == SCTP_CID_HEARTBEAT_ACK &&
			   ct->proto.sctp.vtag[dir] == 0) {
			pr_debug("Setting vtag %x for dir %d\n",
				 sh->vtag, dir);
			ct->proto.sctp.vtag[dir] = sh->vtag;
		} else if ((sch->type == SCTP_CID_HEARTBEAT ||
			    sch->type == SCTP_CID_HEARTBEAT_ACK) &&
			   sh->vtag != ct->proto.sctp.vtag[dir]) {
			pr_debug("Verification tag check failed\n");
			goto out_unlock;
		}

I'm not sure it looks better.
