After reviewed this patch, I think we should delete active ICMP proto
unreachable timer when free transport. since I don't reproduce this BUG,
so I just do compile test only, sorry.

[PATCH] sctp: delete active ICMP proto unreachable timer when free transport

transport may be free before ICMP proto unreachable timer expire, so
we should delete active ICMP proto unreachable timer when transport
is going away.

Hi Wei

To reproduce with the original code (before my patch), add the following rule

# iptables -A INPUT -p sctp -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-proto-unreachable

and then try connecting to the localhost.  I was never able to reproduce the race
on any kind of network, but on localhost it happens every time.

ACK.  This fixes a race against close().  Although that will be fairly hard to
do, it is possible.
