This adds conversion of VMCI specific error code to general -ENOMEM. It
is needed, because af_vsock.c passes error value returned from transport
to the user, which does not expect to get VMCI_ERROR_* values.

@Stefano, I have some doubts about this commit message, as it says "... af_vsock.c
passes error value returned from transport to the user ...", but this
behaviour is implemented only in the next patch. Is it ok, if both patches
are in a single patchset?

Yes indeed it is not clear. In my opinion we can do one of these 2
things:

1. Update the message, where we can say that this is a preparation patch
    for the next changes where af_vsock.c will directly return transport
    values to the user, so we need to return an errno.

2. Merge this patch and patch 3 in a single patch.

Both are fine for my point of view, take your choice ;-)

Thanks,
Stefano
