Change the new (unreleased) SO_PEERPIDFD sockopt to return ENODATA
rather than ESRCH if a socket type does not support remote peer-PID
queries.
Currently, SO_PEERPIDFD returns ESRCH when the socket in question is
not an AF_UNIX socket. This is quite unexpected, given that one would
assume ESRCH means the peer process already exited and thus cannot be
found. However, in that case the sockopt actually returns EINVAL (via
pidfd_prepare()). This is rather inconsistent with other syscalls, which
usually return ESRCH if a given PID refers to a non-existant process.
This changes SO_PEERPIDFD to return ENODATA instead. This is also what
SO_PEERGROUPS returns, and thus keeps a consistent behavior across
sockopts.
Note that this code is returned in 2 cases: First, if the socket type is
not AF_UNIX, and secondly if the socket was not yet connected. In both
cases ENODATA seems suitable.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
