If the syscall fails, errno must be set correctly for the caller.
There's no guarantee that the handlers registered with pthread_atfork
won't clobber errno, so we need to ensure it gets set after they are
called.

Thanks, applying (with minor change to top line of commit message so
it's clear this is about fork).
