Since commit 7fda702f9315 ("sctp: use new rhlist interface on sctp transport rhashtable"), sctp has changed to use rhlist_lookup to look up transport, but rhlist_lookup doesn't call rcu_read_lock inside, unlike rhashtable_lookup_fast. It is called in sctp_epaddr_lookup_transport and sctp_addrs_lookup_transport. sctp_addrs_lookup_transport is always in the protection of rcu_read_lock(), as __sctp_lookup_association is called in rx path or sctp_lookup_association which are in the protection of rcu_read_lock() already. But sctp_epaddr_lookup_transport is called by sctp_endpoint_lookup_assoc, it doesn't call rcu_read_lock, which may cause "suspicious rcu_dereference_check usage' in __rhashtable_lookup. This patch is to fix it by adding rcu_read_lock in sctp_endpoint_lookup_assoc before calling sctp_epaddr_lookup_transport.
