Native: Work around for error code corruption in rt_cond_wait[_until]
User space suffers from losing the error code of the cond wait prologue.
We would actually have to return the prologue error to user space and
use that one after the epilogue succeeded, but the existing kernel ABI
does not allow this nor is existing user space prepared for it.
As a workaround, keep the prologue error code in xnthread's errcode and
restore it from there when user space re-enters the kernel for the
epilogue. This requires no ABI changes, but suffers from potential
overwriting if the same or some other errcode touching service is called
from a user space signal handler in between the calls. Moreover, current
user space also prevents that we can return -EINTR on interruption while
blocked on the condition variable, which was possible before.
A true fix will require a new syscall and updated user space libs.
