[PATCH 1/1] icmp: account for ICMP out errors because of socket limit

[Zhu Yanjun]

When icmp_xmit_lock fails because of socket limit or memory shortage,
increment ICMP_MIB_OUTERRORS counter, so that "netstat -s" can report
these errors.

netstat -s | grep "ICMP messages failed"
    0 ICMP messages failed
