Incorrect, no other error codes are possible.

We never attach a socket filter to these kernel internal sockets,
therefore sk_filter() is not even applicable in this analysis.

Therefore, -ENOBUFS and -ENOMEM are the only errors we can ever see
returned from sock_queue_rcv_skb().

This goes for your second patch as well.
