seq_read() can call ->start() twice on the same iterator more than once
(e.g. once through traverse() and once in seq_read() itself).
We should initialize sctp_ht_iter::start_fail to zero if ->start()
succeeds, otherwise it's possible that we leave an old value of 1 there,
which will cause ->stop() to not call sctp_transport_walk_stop(), which
causes all sorts of problems like not calling rcu_read_unlock() (and
preempt_enable()), eventually leading to more warnings like this:

(Notice that this is a subtly different stacktrace from the previous bug
I reported.)
