Hi!

The sys_futex0 caller expects return values as returned by raw syscalls,
i.e. value >= 0 success, negative value are errors -errorval.
But, the syscall function returns value >= 0 on success, and -1 on error,
with errno set to errorval.  This means if e.g. futex syscall fails with
EAGAIN, and EPERM is 1, we get GTM program terminated because we think
futex returned -EPERM.

Fixed thusly, bootstrapped/regtested on s390x-linux, ok for trunk/4.8?

Testcase that previously succeeded at most 9 times in a row before crashing
now succeeded over 38000 iterations in a row (before I've stopped it).

	* config/linux/futex_bits.h: Include errno.h.
	(sys_futex0): If syscall returns -1, return -errno rather than
	-1.

Looks good to me.  Thanks.
