[PATCH 3.19.y-ckt 080/210] uml: fix hostfs mknod()

[Kamal Mostafa]

3.19.8-ckt14 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

From: Vegard Nossum <vegard.nossum@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 9f2dfda2f2f1c6181c3732c16b85c59ab2d195e0 upstream.

An inverted return value check in hostfs_mknod() caused the function
to return success after handling it as an error (and cleaning up).

It resulted in the following segfault when trying to bind() a named
unix socket:

Let's also get rid of the "cosmic ray protection" while we're at it.
