[PATCH] net: Shrink sock.sk_err sk_err_soft to u16 from int

[Leonard Crestez]

These fields hold positive errno values which are limited by
ERRNO_MAX=4095 so 16 bits is more than enough.

They are also always positive; setting them to a negative errno value
can result in falsely reporting a successful read/write of incorrect
size.

I ran some relatively complex tests without noticing issues but some corner
case where this breaks might exist.
