[PATCH bpf 1/3] bpf, sockmap: fix bpf_tcp_sendmsg sock error handling

[Daniel Borkmann]

While working on bpf_tcp_sendmsg() code, I noticed that when a
sk->sk_err is set we error out with err = sk->sk_err. However
this is problematic since sk->sk_err is a positive error value
and therefore we will neither go into sk_stream_error() nor will
we report an error back to user space. I had this case with EPIPE
and user space was thinking sendmsg() succeeded since EPIPE is
a positive value, thinking we submitted 32 bytes. Fix it by
negating the sk->sk_err value.

Fixes: 4f738adba30a ("bpf: create tcp_bpf_ulp allowing BPF to monitor socket 
TX/RX data")
