syzbot reported the lockdep splat below. [0] sctp_clone_sock() sets the child socket's ipv6_mc_list to NULL, but somehow sock_release() in an error path finally acquires lock_sock() in ipv6_sock_mc_close(). The root cause is that sctp_clone_sock() fetches inet6_sk(newsk) before setting newinet->pinet6, meaning that the parent's ipv6_mc_list was actually cleared. Also, sctp_v6_copy_ip_options() uses inet6_sk() but is called before newinet->pinet6 is set. Let's use inet6_sk() only after setting newinet->pinet6.

[0] Since the cited commit, the child socket inherits all fields of its parent socket unless explicitly cleared. syzbot set IP_OPTIONS to AF_INET6 socket and created a child socket inheriting inet_sk(sk)->inet_opt. sctp_v6_copy_ip_options() only clones np->opt, and leaving inet_opt results in double-free. Let's clear inet_opt in sctp_v6_copy_ip_options().
