While debugging some issues with QEMU_STRACE I stumbled over segmentation
faults that were pretty reproducible. Turns out we tried to treat a
normal return value as errno, resulting in an access over array boundaries
for the resolution.

Fix this by allowing failure to resolve invalid errnos into strings.

v1 -> v2:

  - propagate fault further down, so we display the negative value

v2 -> v3:

  - fix boolean logic
  - fix print_syscall_ret_addr

Looking more closely at this function I'm pretty sure it's wrong.
We shouldn't be calling target_strerror() on errno, because the
syscall.c code has already put the errno into ret as -thing.
This code should look exactly like the default case in
print_syscall_ret() except that the format string used should
be TARGET_ABI_FMT_lx rather than TARGET_ABI_FMT_ld.

You can see the problem if you compile and run this test
program:

#include <sys/mman.h>
int main(void)
{
   mmap(0, 0xc0000000, PROT_READ, MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0);
   return 0;
}

Run under native strace it prints:
mmap2(NULL, 3221225472, PROT_READ, MAP_FILE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = -1
ENOMEM (Cannot allocate memory)

Run under i386-linux-user/qemu-i386 -strace it prints:
5892 mmap2(NULL,-1073741824,PROT_READ,MAP_ANONYMOUS,-1,0) = 0xfffffff4

because we haven't noticed that that return value is an errno.
