Most of the library routines share the same syscall return logic:
In general, a 0 return value indicates success. A -1 return value
indicates an error, and an error number is stored in errno. [1]
Let's add a __sysret() helper for the above logic to simplify the coding
and shrink the code lines too.
Thomas suggested to use inline function instead of macro for __sysret().
Willy suggested to make __sysret() be always inline.
