sock: reset sk_err when the error queue is empty

Prior to f5f9930 (sock: do not set sk_err in sock_dequeue_err_skb), sk_err was reset to the error of the skb on the head of the error queue. Applications, most notably ping, are relying on this behavior to reset sk_err for ICMP packets. Set sk_err to the ICMP error when there is an ICMP packet at the head of the error queue.
