sctp: Start shutdown on association restart if in SHUTDOWN-SENT state and socket is closed



Commit bdf6fa52 ("sctp: handle association restarts when the
socket is closed.") starts shutdown when an association is restarted,
if in SHUTDOWN-PENDING state and the socket is closed. However, the
rationale stated in that commit applies also when in SHUTDOWN-SENT
state - we don't want to move an association to ESTABLISHED state when
the socket has been closed, because that results in an association
that is unreachable from user space.

The problem scenario:

1.  Client crashes and/or restarts.

2.  Server (using one-to-one socket) calls close(). SHUTDOWN is lost.

3.  Client reconnects using the same addresses and ports.

4.  Server's association is restarted. The association and the socket
    move to ESTABLISHED state, even though the server process has
    closed its descriptor.

Also, after step 4 when the server process exits, some resources are
leaked in an attempt to release the underlying inet sock structure in
ESTABLISHED state:

    IPv4: Attempt to release TCP socket in state 1 00000000377288c7

Fix by acting the same way as in SHUTDOWN-PENDING state. That is, if
an association is restarted in SHUTDOWN-SENT state and the socket is
closed, then start shutdown and don't move the association or the
socket to ESTABLISHED state.
