Now sctp processes icmp redirect packet in sctp_icmp_redirect where it calls sctp_transport_dst_check in which tp->dst can be released. The problem is before calling sctp_transport_dst_check, it doesn't check sock_owned_by_user, which means tp->dst could be freed while a process is accessing it with owning the socket. An use-after-free issue could be triggered by this. This patch is to fix it by checking sock_owned_by_user before calling sctp_transport_dst_check in sctp_icmp_redirect, so that it would not release tp->dst if users still hold sock lock. Besides, the same issue fixed in commit 45caeaa5ac0b ("dccp/tcp: fix routing redirect race") on sctp also needs this check.
