Yeah, actually for the error path we don't even need to lock sock
since it is newly allocated and no one else could see it yet.

Instead of checking for the status of the sock, I believe the following
one-line fix should do the trick too. Can you give it a try?

diff --git a/net/sctp/socket.c b/net/sctp/socket.c
