Subject: [28/66] pipe: fix failure to return error code on ->confirm()

2.6.36-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Nicolas Kaiser <nikai@...ai.net>

commit e5953cbdff26f7cbae7eff30cd9b18c4e19b7594 upstream.

The arguments were transposed, we want to assign the error code to
'ret', which is being returned.
