  fork: return proper negative error code (2019-07-01 16:43:30 +0200)

With Al's removal of ksys_close() from cleanup paths in copy_process() a
bug was introduced. When anon_inode_getfile() failed the cleanup was
correctly performed but the error code was not propagated to callers of
copy_process() causing them to operate on a nonsensical pointer. The fix is
a simple on-liner which makes sure that a proper negative error code is
returned from copy_process().
syzkaller has also verified that the bug is not reproducible with the patch
in this branch.

Please consider pulling these changes from the signed for-linus-20190701 tag.

Thanks!
Christian
