Subject: [PATCH net] sock: reset sk_err when the error queue is empty

Before f5f99309fa74 (sock: do not set sk_err in
sock_dequeue_err_skb), sk_err was reset to 0 upon reading
from the error queue when the error queue was empty.

Applications, most notably ping, are relying on this
behavior to reset sk_err.

Reset sk_err when there is no packet left on the
error queue.

Fixes: f5f99309fa74 (sock: do not set sk_err in sock_dequeue_err_skb)
