Subject: [PATCH 3.16 368/410] skbuff: Fix not waking applications when
 errors are enqueued

3.16.57-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Vinicius Costa Gomes <vinicius.gomes@...el.com>

commit 6e5d58fdc9bedd0255a8781b258f10bbdc63e975 upstream.

When errors are enqueued to the error queue via sock_queue_err_skb()
function, it is possible that the waiting application is not notified.

Calling 'sk->sk_data_ready()' would not notify applications that
selected only POLLERR events in poll() (for example).

Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
