Previous to OpenBSD 6.3 [1], fcntl(F_SETFL) is not permitted on
memory devices.
Trying this call sets errno to ENODEV ("not a memory device"):

  19 ENODEV Operation not supported by device.
    An attempt was made to apply an inappropriate function to a device,
    for example, trying to read a write-only device such as a printer.

Do not assert fcntl failures in this specific case (errno set to ENODEV)
on OpenBSD. This fixes:

  $ lm32-softmmu/qemu-system-lm32
  assertion "f != -1" failed: file "util/oslib-posix.c", line 247, function "qemu_set_nonblock"
  Abort trap (core dumped)

[1] The fix seems https://github.com/openbsd/src/commit/c2a35b387f9d3c
  "fcntl(F_SETFL) invokes the FIONBIO and FIOASYNC ioctls internally, so
  the memory devices (/dev/null, /dev/zero, etc) need to permit them."
