sctp: fix the processing for INIT_ACK chunk



Currently INIT_ACK chunk in non-cookie_echoed state is processed in
sctp_sf_discard_chunk() to send an abort with the existent asoc's
vtag if the chunk length is not valid. But the vtag in the chunk's
sctphdr is not verified, which may be exploited by one to cook a
malicious chunk to terminal a SCTP asoc.

sctp_sf_discard_chunk() also is called in many other places to send
an abort, and most of those have this problem. This patch is to fix
it by sending abort with the existent asoc's vtag only if the vtag
from the chunk's sctphdr is verified in sctp_sf_discard_chunk().

Note on sctp_sf_do_9_1_abort() and sctp_sf_shutdown_pending_abort(),
the chunk length has been verified before sctp_sf_discard_chunk(),
so replace it with sctp_sf_discard(). On sctp_sf_do_asconf_ack() and
sctp_sf_do_asconf(), move the sctp_chunk_length_valid check ahead of
sctp_sf_discard_chunk(), then replace it with sctp_sf_discard().
