Hi,
Simon Schubert found a bug today which causes an undesired value in
errno in a threaded context if a umtx syscall also returns an error.
Fix the problem by replacing all calls to utmx_sleep and utmx_wakeup
with calls to two new functions: _umtx_sleep_err and _umtx_wakeup_err.
These new functions perform the respective umtx_sleep and umtx_wakeup
syscall without affecting errno as the normal syscall path would.
Here is the fix:

Hope someone can comment on it and possibly commit it.
Sincerely,
Alex
