Kuniyuki Iwashima b98f06f9a5 sctp: Fetch inet6_sk() after setting ->pinet6 in sctp_clone_sock().
syzbot reported the lockdep splat below. [0]

sctp_clone_sock() sets the child socket's ipv6_mc_list to NULL,
but somehow sock_release() in an error path finally acquires
lock_sock() in ipv6_sock_mc_close().

The root cause is that sctp_clone_sock() fetches inet6_sk(newsk)
before setting newinet->pinet6, meaning that the parent's
ipv6_mc_list was actually cleared.

Also, sctp_v6_copy_ip_options() uses inet6_sk() but is called
before newinet->pinet6 is set.

Let's use inet6_sk() only after setting newinet->pinet6.
