mpool/mpool_get.c: Avoid clobbering 'errno' when handling 'pread' errors
POSIX.1-2024 states that the 'free' function "shall not modify errno if ptr is a null pointer or a pointer previously returned as if by malloc() and not yet deallocated". However this is a fairly recent addition and non-compliant allocators might still clobber 'errno', causing 'mpool_get' to return the wrong error code. Fix this by saving and restoring 'errno' after calling 'free'. Sponsored by: Klara, Inc. Reviewed by: obiwac Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D55463 MFC after: 1 week
