After calling a function that can return an error, the test to detect
that error should use the return value not a different variable. Fix it.

The ARM specification (https://developer.arm.com/documentation/dui0203/
j/semihosting/semihosting-operations/sys-flen--0x0c-) has:
SYS_FLEN (0x0C)
Returns the length of a specified file.
On exit, R0 contains:
the current length of the file object, if the call is successful
-1 if an error occurs.
Please, consider that the file length on 32bit systems may exceed 2^31
You must not consider this as an error.
%s/if (size < 0)/if (size == -1L)/
Unfortunately that is not sufficient with the current code. smh_flen()
and others will call smh_errno() if the sys call returns -1 so other
error codes may possibly be returned. [1]
This seems to be going well beyond the scope of my patch.
