The check of new_asoc->peer.adaptation_ind can fail,
leaving ai_ev uninitialized. In that case, the code
can jump to the nomem_authdev label and later call
sctp_ulpevent_free() with a null ai_ev pointer.
Leading to a potential null dereference.
Add check of ai_ev pointer before call of
sctp_ulpevent_free function.
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
Fixes: 30f6ebf65bc4 ("sctp: add SCTP_AUTH_NO_AUTH type for AUTHENTICATION_EVENT")

The patch can not be applied. It seems these 3 lines start with spaces?
You may run ./scripts/checkpatch.pl against it.
Thanks.
