net: handle error more gracefully in socketpair()
This patch makes socketpair() use error paths which do not rely on heavy-weight call to sys_close(): it's better to try to push the file descriptor to userspace before installing the socket file to the file descriptor, so that errors are catched earlier and being easier to handle. Using sys_close() seems to be the exception, while writing the file descriptor before installing it look like it's more or less the norm: eg. except for code used in init/, error handling involve fput() and put_unused_fd(), but not sys_close(). This make socketpair() usage of sys_close() quite unusual. So it deserves to be replaced by the common pattern relying on fput() and put_unused_fd() just like, for example, the one used in pipe(2) or recvmsg(2). Three distinct error paths are still needed since calling fput() on file structure returned by sock_alloc_file() will implicitly call sock_release() on the associated socket structure. Cc: David S.
