[PATCH applied] Re: socket: Never use negative buf->len in link_socket_read*

This is, if I remember correctly, "integer warning fixes fallout", but
generally a good idea - so buf->len is now either "0" for "no packet" or
">0" for "do something", and errors are communicated via explicit other
channels.

I did stare at this for quite a while, but since the code is complex I'm
happy that Arne also did and +2ed in gerrit.  Tested on the t_client/
t_server framework.

Your patch has been applied to the master branch.
