[PATCH net] sctp: declare struct sctp_stream before using it
sctp_stream_free uses struct sctp_stream as a param, but struct sctp_stream is defined after it's declaration. This patch is to declare struct sctp_stream before sctp_stream_free.

So the better thing we should do is to declare struct sctp_stream to avoid this potential issue. Besides, I'm planing to change the return value type of sctp_stream_new. after which, the issue will be exposed. > > Neil >
