On error, the error code from tun_flow_init() is lost inside
tun_set_iff(), this patch fixes this by assigning the tun_flow_init()
error code to the "err" variable which is returned by
the tun_flow_init() function on error.

Looks fine, we can separate this out of this series and replace the RFC with
net-next to let David apply it soon.
Will do shortly.
