Hi

as this is planned to be backported down to stable/longterm, kfree_rcu
was not used here. I guess in meantime the callback has been removed
while introducing kfree_rcu in sctp  module. I have a patch ready to
send for net-next-2.6 converting to kfree_rcu in sctp, only I've been
waiting for it jumping to the tree.

This patch is of course valid.
