From: Kuniyuki Iwashima <kuniyu@xxxxxxxxxx> When we backport dadd0dcaa67d ("net/ulp: prevent ULP without clone op from entering the LISTEN status"), we have accidentally backported a part of 7a7160edf1bf ("net: Return errno in sk->sk_prot->get_port().") and removed err = -EADDRINUSE in inet_csk_listen_start(). Thus, listen() no longer returns -EADDRINUSE even if ->get_port() failed as reported in [0]. We set -EADDRINUSE to err just before ->get_port() to fix the regression.
