Thanks but this is not a good fix for this. It will cause the stream
to never be scheduled.

The problem happens because of the fault injection that happened a bit
before the crash, in here:

int sctp_stream_init_ext(struct sctp_stream *stream, __u16 sid)
{
        struct sctp_stream_out_ext *soute;

        soute = kzalloc(sizeof(*soute), GFP_KERNEL);
        if (!soute)
                return -ENOMEM;
        SCTP_SO(stream, sid)->ext = soute;  <---- [A]

        return sctp_sched_init_sid(stream, sid, GFP_KERNEL);
                      ^^^^^^^^^^^^---- [B] failed
}

This causes the 1st sendmsg to bail out with the error. When the 2nd
one gets in, it will:

sctp_sendmsg_to_asoc()
{
...
        if (unlikely(!SCTP_SO(&asoc->stream, sinfo->sinfo_stream)->ext)) {
                                                                 ^^^^^--- [C]
                err = sctp_stream_init_ext(&asoc->stream, sinfo->sinfo_stream);
                if (err)
                        goto err;
        }

[A] leaves ext initialized, despite the failed in [B]. Then in [C], it
will not try to initialize again.

We need to either uninitialize ->ext as error handling for [B], or
improve the check on [C].

syzbot++ once again.
