Normally SCTP_MIB_CURRESTAB is always incremented once asoc enter into ESTABLISHED from the state < ESTABLISHED and decremented when the asoc is being deleted. However, in sctp_sf_do_dupcook_b(), the asoc's state can be changed to ESTABLISHED from the state >= ESTABLISHED where it shouldn't increment SCTP_MIB_CURRESTAB. Otherwise, one asoc may increment MIB_CURRESTAB multiple times but only decrement once at the end. I was able to reproduce it by using scapy to do the 4-way shakehands, after that I replayed the COOKIE-ECHO chunk with 'peer_vtag' field changed to different values, and SCTP_MIB_CURRESTAB was incremented multiple times and never went back to 0 even when the asoc was freed. This patch is to fix it by only incrementing SCTP_MIB_CURRESTAB when the state < ESTABLISHED in sctp_sf_do_dupcook_b().
