net: sctp: keep owned chunk in destructor_arg instead of skb->cb
It's just silly to hold the skb destructor argument around inside skb->cb[] as we currently do in SCTP. Nowadays, we're sort of cheating on data accounting in the sense that due to commit 4c3a5bda ("sctp: Don't charge for data in sndbuf again when transmitting packet"), we orphan the skb already in the SCTP output path, i.e. giving back charged data memory, and use a different destructor only to make sure the sk doesn't vanish on skb destruction time. Thus, cb[] is still valid here as we operate within the SCTP layer. (It's generally actually a big candidate for future rework, imho.) However, storing the destructor in the cb[] can easily cause issues should an non sctp_packet_set_owner_w()'ed skb ever escape the SCTP layer, since cb[] may get overwritten by lower layers and thus can corrupt the chunk pointer. There are no such issues at present, but lets keep the chunk in destructor_arg, as this is the actual purpose for it.
