This libgo patch checks the return value as well as the error from
waitid.  https://gcc.gnu.org/PR86331 indicates that if a signal
handler runs it is possible for syscall.Syscall6 to return a non-zero
errno value even if no error occurs. That is a problem in general, but
this fix will let us work around the general problem for the specific
case of calling waitid.  Bootstrapped and ran Go testsuite on
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.  Committed to trunk, GCC 8 branch, and GCC 7
branch.
