Revert "Linux: normalize error return for emulated syscalls"

This reverts commit 0bc837f68a72ba1f75d940cc5dd057774d9f36bb.

Sadly, this change fixed setpag(), but broke all of the pioctls. The
problem is actually a little more nuanced than we at first thought.
What's happening is yet another case of Linux's special handling of
negative return values. When an ioctl handler returns a negative
return code to the kernel, it does errno = -code, and sets the
return code to -1. If you pass it a postive return code, however,
it just returns that straight to the application.

The pioctl code gets this right. However, the setpag code doesn't,
and so tries to return postive values, which is why ioctl appears
to be returning the error code in the return value, not in the
errno.
