The issue exists but this is not the right fix.
Issue was introduced by 7b9438de0cd4 ("sctp: add stream reconf timer")
as it introduced a new timer but didn't add the timer name here, so the
fix should (also) include:

diff --git a/net/sctp/debug.c b/net/sctp/debug.c
index 95d7b15dad21..c5f4ed5242ac 100644
--- a/net/sctp/debug.c
+++ b/net/sctp/debug.c
@@ -159,6 +159,7 @@ static const char *const sctp_timer_tbl[] = {
 	"TIMEOUT_T4_RTO",
 	"TIMEOUT_T5_SHUTDOWN_GUARD",
 	"TIMEOUT_HEARTBEAT",
+	"TIMEOUT_RECONF",
 	"TIMEOUT_SACK",
 	"TIMEOUT_AUTOCLOSE",
 };

Thanks,
Marcelo
