Fix: handle sys_futex() FUTEX_WAIT interrupted by signal

We need to handle EINTR returned by sys_futex() FUTEX_WAIT, otherwise a
signal interrupting this system call could make sys_futex return too
early, and therefore cause a synchronization issue.

Ensure that the futex compatibility layer returns meaningful errors and
errno when using poll() or pthread cond variables.
