Subject: sunrpc: Propagate errors from xs_bind() through xs_create_sock()

From: Ben Hutchings <[email protected]>

commit 4cea288aaf0e11647880cc487350b1dc45d9febc upstream.

xs_create_sock() is supposed to return a pointer or an ERR_PTR-encoded
error, but it currently returns 0 if xs_bind() fails.
