In this case i need to reserve some value for
"err" as success, because both 0 and negative
values are passed to caller when this function
returns false(check failed). May be i will
inline this function.

When "dequeued_total > 0" record copy is succeed.
"len" is length of user buffer. I think i can
replace "dequeued_total" to some flag, like "error",
because in SOCK_SEQPACKET mode record could be
copied whole or error returned.
