[PATCH v2 2/3] coredump: fix error handling for replace_fd()

[Christian Brauner]

The replace_fd() helper returns the file descriptor number on success
and a negative error code on failure. The current error handling in
umh_pipe_setup() only works because the file descriptor that is replaced
is zero but that's pretty volatile. Explicitly check for a negative
error code.
