af_unix: Don't set err in unix_stream_read_generic unless there was an error
commit 1b92ee3d upstream. The present unix_stream_read_generic contains various code sequences of the form err = -EDISASTER; if (<test>) goto out; This has the unfortunate side effect of possibly causing the error code to bleed through to the final out: return copied ? : err; and then to be wrongly returned if no data was copied because the caller didn't supply a data buffer, as demonstrated by the program available at http://pad.lv/1540731 Change it such that err is only set if an error condition was detected.
