[PATCH] sctp: remove unreachable code from sctp_sf_violation_chunk()

From: Alexey Khoroshilov
Date: Fri Nov 05 2021 - 13:30:52 EST


sctp_sf_violation_chunk() is not called with asoc argument equal to NULL,
but if that happens it would lead to NULL pointer dereference
in sctp_vtag_verify().

The patch removes code that handles NULL asoc in sctp_sf_violation_chunk().

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
