5.15-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

commit 95c5f43181fe9c1b5e5a4bd3281c857a5259991f upstream.
The replace_fd() helper returns the file descriptor number on success and a negative error code on failure. The current error handling in umh_pipe_setup() only works because the file descriptor that is replaced is zero but that's pretty volatile. Explicitly check for a negative error code.
