sctp: Add RCU protection to assoc->transport_addr_list
peer.transport_addr_list is currently only protected by sk_sock
which is inpractical to acquire for procfs dumping purposes.
This patch adds RCU protection allowing for the procfs readers to
enter RCU read-side critical sections.
Modification of the list continues to be serialized via sk_lock.
V2: Use list_del_rcu() in sctp_association_free() to be safe
Skip transports marked dead when dumping for procfs
