The __getrandom_nocancel used by __arc4random_buf uses
INLINE_SYSCALL_CALL (which returns -1/errno) and the loop checks for
the return value instead of errno to fallback to /dev/urandom.

The malloc code now uses __getrandom_nocancel_nostatus, which uses
INTERNAL_SYSCALL_CALL, so there is no need to use the variant that does
not set errno (BZ#29624).

Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu.

Ping, I really want this small fix on 2.40.
