net/atm: sk_err_soft must be positive

The sk_err and sk_err_soft fields are positive errno values and
userspace applications rely on this when using getsockopt(SO_ERROR).

ATM code places an -errno into sk_err_soft in sigd_send() and returns it
from svc_addparty()/svc_dropparty().

Although I am not familiar with ATM code I came to this conclusion
because:

1. sigd_send() msg->type cases as_okay and as_error both have:

   sk->sk_err = -msg->reply;

   while the as_addparty and as_dropparty cases have:

   sk->sk_err_soft = msg->reply;

   This is the source of the inconsistency.

2. svc_addparty() returns an -errno and assumes sk_err_soft is also an
   -errno:

       if (flags & O_NONBLOCK) {
           error = -EINPROGRESS;
           goto out;
       }
       ...
       error = xchg(&sk->sk_err_soft, 0);
   out:
       release_sock(sk);
       return error;

   This shows that sk_err_soft is indeed being treated as an -errno.

This patch ensures that sk_err_soft is always a positive errno.
