------------------------------------------------------
Subject: sock_create bad error return
From: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@xxxxxxxx>
If socket create call races with module unload, it correctly fails the socket
call but doesn't return an error. This race is theoritical because the
sock->ops are always the same and non-modular.
