scripts/kallsyms: Fix build failure by setting errno before calling getline()
getline() returns -1 at EOF as well as on error. It also doesn't set errno to 0 on success, so initialize it to 0 before using errno to check for an error condition. See the paragraph here [1]: For some system calls and library functions (e.g., getpriority(2)), -1 is a valid return on success. In such cases, a successful return can be distinguished from an error return by setting errno to zero before the call, and then, if the call returns a status that indicates that an error may have occurred, checking to see if errno has a nonzero value. Bear has a bug [2] that launches processes with errno set and causes the following build failure: $ bear -- make LLVM=1 ...
