[ Upstream commit b192812905e4b134f7b7994b079eb647e9d2d37e ] As with sk->sk_shutdown shown in the previous patch, sk->sk_err can be read locklessly by unix_dgram_sendmsg(). Let's use READ_ONCE() for sk_err as well. Note that the writer side is marked by commit cc04410af7de ("af_unix: annotate lockless accesses to sk->sk_err").
