sock: reset sk_err for ICMP packets read from error queue

Only when ICMP packets are enqueued onto the error queue,
sk_err is also set. Before f5f99309 (sock: do not set sk_err
in sock_dequeue_err_skb), a subsequent error queue read
would set sk_err to the next error on the queue, or 0 if empty.
As no error types other than ICMP set this field, sk_err should
not be modified upon dequeuing them.

Only for ICMP errors, reset the (racy) sk_err. Some applications,
like traceroute, rely on it and go into a futile busy POLLERR
loop otherwise.

In principle, sk_err has to be set while an ICMP error is queued.
Testing is_icmp_err_skb(skb_next) approximates this without
requiring a full queue walk. Applications that receive both ICMP
and other errors cannot rely on this legacy behavior, as other
errors do not set sk_err in the first place.

Fixes: f5f99309 (sock: do not set sk_err in sock_dequeue_err_skb)
