  syscall/malloc can set non-zero errno in case of failure,

  And we do not want changing of errno by successful scalable_malloc call.
  To support this, restore old errno in (get|free)RawMemory, and set errno
  in frontend just before returning to user code.
  Please note: every syscall/libc call used inside scalable_malloc that
  sets errno must be protected this way, not just memory allocation per se.
