I believe you already said this once Christoph on a previous patch, and I 
replied that in case of IP_RECVERR set, udp_push_pending_frames()
returns -ENOBUFS to its caller : udp_sendmsg()

And the caller takes care of :

out:
        ip_rt_put(rt);
        if (free)
                kfree(ipc.opt);
        if (!err)
                return len;
        /*
         * ENOBUFS = no kernel mem, SOCK_NOSPACE = no sndbuf space.  Reporting
         * ENOBUFS might not be good (it's not tunable per se), but otherwise
         * we don't have a good statistic (IpOutDiscards but it can be too many
         * things).  We could add another new stat but at least for now that
         * seems like overkill.
         */
        if (err == -ENOBUFS || test_bit(SOCK_NOSPACE, &sk->sk_socket->flags)) {
                UDP_INC_STATS_USER(sock_net(sk),
                                UDP_MIB_SNDBUFERRORS, is_udplite);
        }
        return err;
