Hmm, reading the code again, I can see sk_err is tested in the loop, so
your code is better (sk_stream_wait_connect() returns an error after
your patch, instead of returning 0)

Could you please split your patch in two patches ?

The sk_stream_wait_connect() problems comes from commit
c1cbe4b7ad0bc4b1d9 ([NET]: Avoid atomic xchg() for non-error case)
