In case we need to bail out for whatever reason during assoc init, we call sctp_endpoint_put() and then sock_put(), however, we've hold both refs in reverse, non-symmetric order, so first sctp_endpoint_hold() and then sock_hold(). Reverse this, so that in an error case we have sock_put() and then sctp_endpoint_put(). Actually shouldn't matter too much, since both cleanup paths do the right thing, but that way, it is more consistent with the rest of the code.
