I think this was introduced in the rhlist converstion. We had removed
some rcu_read_lock() calls on sctp stack because rhashtable was already
calling it, but then we didn't add them back when moving to rhlist.

This code:
+/* return a transport without holding it, as it's only used under sock lock */
struct sctp_transport *sctp_epaddr_lookup_transport(
const struct sctp_endpoint *ep,
const union sctp_addr *paddr)
{
struct net *net = sock_net(ep->base.sk);
+ struct rhlist_head *tmp, *list;
+ struct sctp_transport *t;
struct sctp_hash_cmp_arg arg = {
- .ep = ep,
.paddr = paddr,
.net = net,
+ .lport = htons(ep->base.bind_addr.port),
};

- return rhashtable_lookup_fast(&sctp_transport_hashtable, &arg,
- sctp_hash_params);
+ list = rhltable_lookup(&sctp_transport_hashtable, &arg,
+ sctp_hash_params);

Had an implicit rcu_read_lock() on rhashtable_lookup_fast, but it
doesn't on rhltable_lookup and rhltable_lookup uses _rcu calls which
assumes we have rcu read protection.
