      sctp: sctp should release assoc when sctp_make_abort_user return NULL in sctp_close · 068d8bd3

      In sctp_close, sctp_make_abort_user may return NULL because of memory
      allocation failure. If this happens, it will bypass any state change
      and never free the assoc. The assoc has no chance to be freed and it
      will be kept in memory with the state it had even after the socket is
      closed by sctp_close().
      
      So if sctp_make_abort_user fails to allocate memory, we should abort
      the asoc via sctp_primitive_ABORT as well. Just like the annotation in
      sctp_sf_cookie_wait_prm_abort and sctp_sf_do_9_1_prm_abort said,
      "Even if we can't send the ABORT due to low memory delete the TCB.
      This is a departure from our typical NOMEM handling".
      
      But then the chunk is NULL (low memory) and the SCTP_CMD_REPLY cmd would
      dereference the chunk pointer, and system crash. So we should add
      SCTP_CMD_REPLY cmd only when the chunk is not NULL, just like other
      places where it adds SCTP_CMD_REPLY cmd.
