On failure, sctp_process_init() removes all non-ACTIVE peer transports.
An existing UNCONFIRMED transport is not promoted to ACTIVE by
sctp_assoc_add_peer(), so cleanup can remove the last transport.
sctp_assoc_rm_peer() assumes another transport remains after removal.
If the list becomes empty, it interprets the list head as a transport
and passes the invalid replacement to sctp_assoc_set_primary() when
removing the primary path, causing a NULL pointer dereference:

Keep the last transport during cleanup so sctp_assoc_rm_peer() has a
valid replacement. The retained transport is freed when the association
is destroyed.
