### Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:sctp: set sk_state back to CLOSED if autobind fails in sctp_listen_startIn sctp_listen_start() invoked by sctp_inet_listen(), it should set thesk_state back to CLOSED if sctp_autobind() fails due to whatever reason.Otherwise, next time when calling sctp_inet_listen(), if sctp_sk(sk)->reuseis already set via setsockopt(SCTP_REUSE_PORT), sctp_sk(sk)->bind_hash willbe dereferenced as sk_state is LISTENING, which causes a crash as bind_hashis NULL.  KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000000-0x0000000000000007]  RIP: 0010:sctp_inet_listen+0x7f0/0xa20 net/sctp/socket.c:8617  Call Trace:   <TASK>   __sys_listen_socket net/socket.c:1883 [inline]   __sys_listen+0x1b7/0x230 net/socket.c:1894   __do_sys_listen net/socket.c:1902 [inline]
