[PATCH v2 net] sctp: avoid NULL dereference when chunk data buffer is missing

chunk->skb pointer is dereferenced in the if-block where it's supposed
to be NULL only.

chunk->skb can only be NULL if chunk->head_skb is not. Check for frag_list
instead and do it just before replacing chunk->skb. We're sure that
otherwise chunk->skb is non-NULL because of outer if() condition.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

v2 - change the condition in if-block and update
its location for preventing potential memory leak
per Marcelo Ricardo Leitner's suggestion.
