when these memory management functions are called from the OS, the `errno` may 
be trashed. Kernel logic must never modifiy the `errno` value per Issue #1027.

for example, that is called from `mm_realloc()` like:

   I places set_errno into malloc/calloc only, but I think @patacongo is 
talking about FLAT build where kernel allocations are remapped to 
`malloc/calloc`.
