sctp: fix error handling on stream scheduler initialization

[ Upstream commit 4d141581 ]

It allocates the extended area for outbound streams only on sendmsg
calls, if they are not yet allocated.  When using the priority
stream scheduler, this initialization may imply into a subsequent
allocation, which may fail.  In this case, it was aborting the stream
scheduler initialization but leaving the ->ext pointer (allocated) in
there, thus in a partially initialized state.  On a subsequent call to
sendmsg, it would notice the ->ext pointer in there, and trip on
uninitialized stuff when trying to schedule the data chunk.

The fix is undo the ->ext initialization if the stream scheduler
initialization fails and avoid the partially initialized state.

Although syzkaller bisected this to commit 4ff40b86

 ("sctp: set
chunk transport correctly when it's a new asoc"), this bug was actually
introduced on the commit I marked below.
