Fix an issue detected by syzbot:

KMSAN reported an uninitialized-value access in sctp_inq_pop
BUG: KMSAN: uninit-value in sctp_inq_pop

The issue is actually caused by skb trimming via sk_filter() in sctp_rcv().
In the reproducer, skb->len becomes 1 after sk_filter(), which bypassed the
original check:

        if (skb->len < sizeof(struct sctphdr) + sizeof(struct sctp_chunkhdr) +
                       skb_transport_offset(skb))
To handle this safely, a new check should be performed after sk_filter().

Thanks for the update. This version looks good to me.
And I assume it is for net.
