In case it can't be verified due to no reproducer yet, I modified some
code in sctp_stream_init() to confirm Marcelo's deduction:
-       i = sctp_stream_alloc_in(stream, incnt, gfp);
+       i = 1;
        if (i) {
                ret = -ENOMEM;
                goto free;

And got the same call trace as the mail:

And Marcelo's patch could fix it.

Since the "free:" part only works for if (i), maybe the patch can also do:
        if (i) {
                sched->free(stream);
                kfree(stream->out);
                stream->out = NULL;
                stream->outcnt = 0;

                ret = -ENOMEM;
                goto out;
        }

and remove the "free:" path.
