[PATCH] fork: return proper negative error code

From: Christian Brauner
Date: Mon Jul 01 2019 - 10:48:32 EST


Make sure to return a proper negative error code from copy_process()
when anon_inode_getfile() fails with CLONE_PIDFD.
Otherwise _do_fork() will not detect an error and get_task_pid() will
operator on a nonsensical pointer:
