a3310c0397e21df8f47cde3e55736104b9584d2d linux-user: Move syscall error detection into safe_syscall_base
The current api from safe_syscall_base() is to return -errno, which is
the interface provided by *some* linux kernel abis. The wrapper macro,
safe_syscall(), detects error, stores into errno, and returns -1, to
match the api of the system syscall().
For those kernel abis that do not return -errno natively, this leads
to double syscall error detection. E.g. Linux ppc64, which sets the
SO flag for error.
Simplify the usage from C by moving the error detection into assembly,
and usage from assembly by providing a C helper with which to set errno.
