unix_create1() returns NULL on error, and the callers assume that it never
fails for reasons other than out of memory. So, the callers always return
-ENOMEM when unix_create1() fails.
However, it also returns NULL when the number of af_unix sockets exceeds
twice the limit controlled by sysctl: fs.file-max. In this case, the
callers should return -ENFILE like alloc_empty_file().
This patch changes unix_create1() to return the correct error value instead
of NULL on error.
Out of curiosity, the assumption has been wrong since 1999 due to this
change introduced in 2.2.4 [0].

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
