This fixes a problem when connect() fails and returns the error
code as a positive value, whereas errno itself is never set. The
reason is that error codes set in sk_err should never be inverted.
That seems consistent with the other instances at least.

~/git/linux-head$ git grep ECONNREFUSED net|grep sk_err
net/caif/caif_socket.c:		cf_sk->sk.sk_err = ECONNREFUSED;
net/decnet/dn_nsp_in.c:		sk->sk_err = ECONNREFUSED;
net/ipv4/tcp_input.c:		sk->sk_err = ECONNREFUSED;
net/tipc/socket.c:			sk->sk_err = -ECONNREFUSED;
~/git/linux-head$

What was the high level user visible symptom in this case?
Stalled connections or ... ?

Thanks,
Paul.
