sock: reset sk_err for ICMP packets read from error queue
Only when ICMP packets are enqueued onto the error queue, sk_err is also set. Before f5f99309fa74 (sock: do not set sk_err in sock_dequeue_err_skb), a subsequent error queue read would set sk_err to the next error on the queue, or 0 if empty. As no error types other than ICMP set this field, sk_err should not be modified upon dequeuing them. Only for ICMP errors, reset the (racy) sk_err. Some applications, like traceroute, rely on it and go into a futile busy POLLERR loop otherwise. In principle, sk_err has to be set while an ICMP error is queued. Testing is_icmp_err_skb(skb_next) approximates this without requiring a full queue walk. Applications that receive both ICMP and other errors cannot rely on this legacy behavior, as other errors do not set sk_err in the first place.
