This commit accidentally backports a part of 7a7160edf1bf ("net: Return
errno in sk->sk_prot->get_port().") and removed err = -EADDRINUSE in
inet_csk_listen_start().  Then, listen() will return 0 even if ->get_port()
actually fails and returns 1.

I can send a small revert or a whole backport, but which is preferable ?
The original patch is not for stable, but it will make future backports
easy.

Thanks,
Kuniyuki
