Because of an oversight, this change breaks blocking datagram reception
for anyone but the AF_UNIX SOCK_DGRAM code. I've noticed this by chance
while running a test program for SOCK_STREAM sockets. The problem seems
to be (fix not yet tested) that a - is missing in the *err check in
__skb_recv_datagram.

Proposed fix:

------------
diff --git a/net/core/datagram.c b/net/core/datagram.c
index 7daff66..fa9dc64 100644
--- a/net/core/datagram.c
+++ b/net/core/datagram.c

Provided this works (very likely), I'll send a real patch for that ASAP.
