On error, the error code from tun_flow_init() is lost inside
tun_set_iff(), this patch fixes this by assigning the tun_flow_init()
error code to the "err" variable which is returned by
the tun_flow_init() function on error.

Jason, we've had some good discussion around patch 2/2 but nothing on this 
fix; can I assume you are okay with this patch?  If so I think we should go 
ahead and apply this ...

Yes, it looks good. Maybe we can separate this patch from this RFC series and 
tag it as "net-next" to let David apply it soon.
