The sctp_for_each_transport() function takes an pointer to int.  The
cb->args[] array holds longs so it's only using the high 32 bits.  It
works on little endian system but will break on big endian 64 bit
machines.

Fixes: d25adbeb0cdb ("sctp: fix an use-after-free issue in sctp_sock_dump")

v2: The v1 patch changed the function to take a long pointer, but v2
    just changes the caller.
