[lvc-project] [PATCH] net: sctp: fix memory leak in sctp_chunk_destroy()

In case of GSO, per-chunk 'skb' pointer may point to an entry from
fraglist created in 'sctp_packet_gso_append()'. To avoid freeing
random fraglist entry (and so undefined behavior and/or memory
leak), consume 'head_skb' (i.e. beginning of a fraglist) instead.
