[SCTP]: Add RCU synchronization around sctp_localaddr_list
sctp_localaddr_list is modified dynamically via NETDEV_UP
and NETDEV_DOWN events, but there is not synchronization
between writer (even handler) and readers. As a result,
the readers can access an entry that has been freed and
crash the sytem.
