None of the other callers try to use errno, which isn't even documented
as part of the inet_connect() interface. So I think setting errno inside
inet_connect() would be wrong.
If we were to change anything, we might consider returning -EINVAL
instead of -1, though I'm not sure how useful that change would be. We
would still have to fix this call in the ssh block driver.
