Subject: [PATCH] netfilter: nf_sockopt_find() should return ERESTARTSYS

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...gle.com>

getsockopt() or setsockopt() sometimes returns -EINTR instead of
-ENOPROTOOPT, causing headaches to application developers.

This is because unsupported commands might go through nf_sockopt_find()
and this function returns -EINTR instead of -ERESTARTSYS if
a signal is pending.
