af_unix: Return errno instead of NULL in unix_create1().

unix_create1() returns NULL on error, and the callers assume that it never
fails for reasons other than out of memory.  So, the callers always return
-ENOMEM when unix_create1() fails.

However, it also returns NULL when the number of af_unix sockets exceeds
twice the limit controlled by sysctl: fs.file-max.  In this case, the
callers should return -ENFILE like alloc_empty_file().

This patch changes unix_create1() to return the correct error value instead
of NULL on error.

Out of curiosity, the assumption has been wrong since 1999 due to this
change introduced in 2.2.4 [0].
