tcp-zerocopy: Return sk_err (if set) along with tcp receive zerocopy.

This patchset is intended to reduce the number of extra system calls
imposed by TCP receive zerocopy. For ping-pong RPC style workloads,
this patchset has demonstrated a system call reduction of about 30%
when coupled with userspace changes.

For applications using epoll, returning sk_err along with the result
of tcp receive zerocopy could remove the need to call
recvmsg()=-EAGAIN after a spurious wakeup.

Consider a multi-threaded application using epoll. A thread may awaken
with EPOLLIN but another thread may already be reading. The
spuriously-awoken thread does not necessarily know that another thread
'won'; rather, it may be possible that it was woken up due to the
presence of an error if there is no data. A zerocopy read receiving 0
bytes thus would need to be followed up by recvmsg to be sure.

Instead, we return sk_err directly with zerocopy, so the application
can avoid this extra system call.
