[22766.601221] Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt

It appears from his analysis and some staring at the code that this is likely
occuring because an association is getting freed while still on the
sctp_assoc_hashtable.  As a result, we get a gpf when traversing the hashtable
while a freed node corrupts part of the list.

Nominally I would think that an mibalanced refcount was responsible for this,
but I can't seem to find any obvious imbalance.  What I did note however was
that the two places where we create an association using
sctp_primitive_ASSOCIATE (__sctp_connect and sctp_sendmsg), have failure paths
which free a newly created association after calling sctp_primitive_ASSOCIATE.
sctp_primitive_ASSOCIATE brings us into the sctp_sf_do_prm_asoc path, which
issues a SCTP_CMD_NEW_ASOC side effect, which in turn adds a new association to
the aforementioned hash table.  the sctp command interpreter that process side
effects has not way to unwind previously processed commands, so freeing the
association from the __sctp_connect or sctp_sendmsg error path would lead to a
freed association remaining on this hash table.

I've fixed this but modifying sctp_[un]hash_established to use hlist_del_init,
which allows us to proerly use hlist_unhashed to check if the node is on a
hashlist safely during a delete.  That in turn alows us to safely call
sctp_unhash_established in the __sctp_connect and sctp_sendmsg error paths
before freeing them, regardles of what the associations state is on the hash
list.

I noted, while I was doing this, that the __sctp_unhash_endpoint was using
hlist_unhsashed in a simmilar fashion, but never nullified any removed nodes
pointers to make that function work properly, so I fixed that up in a simmilar
fashion.

I attempted to test this using a virtual guest running the SCTP_RR test from
netperf in a loop while running the trinity fuzzer, both in a loop.  I wasn't
able to recreate the problem prior to this fix, nor was I able to trigger the
failure after (neither of which I suppose is suprising).  Given the trace above
however, I think its likely that this is what we hit.
