* [musl] [PATCH v2] accept4: don't fall back to accept if we got unknown flags

  To: musl

accept4 emulation via accept ignores unknown flags, so it can spuriously
succeed instead of failing (or succeed without doing the action implied
by an unknown flag if it's added in a future kernel). Worse, unknown
flags trigger the fallback code even on modern kernels if the real
accept4 syscall returns EINVAL, because this is indistinguishable from
socketcall returning EINVAL due to lack of accept4 support.

Fix this by always failing with EINVAL if unknown flags are present and
the syscall is missing or failed with EINVAL.

Changed per https://www.openwall.com/lists/musl/2023/02/27/9.

The explicit errno variant is chosen because the surrounding code
already deals with errno.
