[PATCH net] mptcp: return sk_wait_data() errors from recvmsg()

[Mark Amirkan via B4 Relay <devnull+markdamirkan.gmail.com@kernel.org>]

From: Mark Amirkan <markdamirkan@gmail.com>

Commit 581302298524 ("mptcp: error out earlier on disconnect") made
mptcp_recvmsg() stop when sk_wait_data() returns an error.  The error is
stored in err, but the function then jumps to a path which returns
copied.  When no data was copied, recvmsg() therefore returns zero and
reports a false EOF.

Store the result in copied, which is the value returned by the function.
This also keeps the usual partial-read result when data was copied before
the error.

A recvmsg() blocked in one thread reproduces the issue when another
thread disconnects the same MPTCP socket with connect(AF_UNSPEC).
Before this change recvmsg() returns zero; afterwards it returns -EPIPE.
