The current 'tipc_wait_for_connect()' function makes a loop and waits
for the condition 'sk->sk_state != TIPC_CONNECTING' to conclude if the
connecting has done. However, when the condition is met, it always
returns '0' even in the case the connecting was actually failed (e.g.
refused because the server socket has closed...) and the socket state
was set to 'TIPC_DISCONNECTING'.
This results in a wrong return code for the 'connect()' call from user,
making it believe that the connection is established and goes ahead
with more actions e.g. building & sending a message but then finally
gets an unexpected result (e.g. '-EPIPE').

This commit fixes the issue by returning the corresponding error code
if any when the wait process is waken up.
