sk_wait_event() returns an error (-EPIPE) if disconnect() is called on the
socket waiting for the event. However, sk_stream_wait_connect() returns
success, i.e. zero, even if sk_wait_event() returns -EPIPE, so a function
that waits for a connection with sk_stream_wait_connect() may misbehave.

In the case of the above DCCP issue, dccp_sendmsg() is waiting for the
connection. If disconnect() is called in concurrently, the above issue
occurs.

This patch fixes the issue by returning error from sk_stream_wait_connect()
if sk_wait_event() fails.

Fixes: 419ce133ab92 ("tcp: allow again tcp_disconnect() when threads are waiting")
