Fix failure-to-read-man-page in commit
899bd785c.
posix_fallocate() is not quite a drop-in replacement for fallocate(),
because it is defined to return the error code as its function result,
not in "errno". I (tgl) missed this because RHEL6's version seems
to set errno as well. That is not the case on more modern Linuxen,
though, as per buildfarm results.
Aside from fixing the return-convention confusion, remove the test
for ENOSYS; we expect that glibc will mask that for posix_fallocate,
though it does not for fallocate. Keep the test for EINTR, because
POSIX specifies that as a possible result, and buildfarm results
suggest that it can happen in practice.
Back-patch to 9.4, like the previous commit.
