Subject: [2.6.21 patch] net/sunrpc/svcsock.c: fix a check

The return value of kernel_recvmsg() should be assigned to "err", not 
compared with the random value of a never initialized "err"
(and the "< 0" check wrongly always returned false since == comparisons 
never have a result < 0).

Spotted by the Coverity checker.
