As the address is from userspace, it can be a v4-mapped v6 address. But in sctp protocol stack, it always handles a v4-mapped v6 address as a v4 address. So it's necessary to convert it to a v4 address before looking up assoc by address. This patch is to fix it by calling sctp_verify_addr in which it can do this conversion before calling sctp_endpoint_lookup_assoc, just like what sctp_sendmsg and __sctp_connect do for the address from users.
