Subject: [PATCH 4.2.y-ckt 096/268] uml: fix hostfs mknod()

4.2.8-ckt3 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Vegard Nossum <vegard.nossum@...cle.com>

commit 9f2dfda2f2f1c6181c3732c16b85c59ab2d195e0 upstream.

An inverted return value check in hostfs_mknod() caused the function
to return success after handling it as an error (and cleaning up).

It resulted in the following segfault when trying to bind() a named
unix socket:

Let's also get rid of the "cosmic ray protection" while we're at it.
