do_wait: fix sys_waitid()-specific behaviour
do_wait() checks ->wo_info to figure out who is the caller. If it's not
NULL the caller should be sys_waitid(), in that case do_wait() fixes up
the retval or zeros ->wo_info, depending on retval from underlying
function.
This is bug: user can pass ->wo_info == NULL and sys_waitid() will return
incorrect value.
man 2 waitid says:
waitid(): returns 0 on success
Test-case:
int main(void)
{
if (fork())
assert(waitid(P_ALL, 0, NULL, WEXITED) == 0);
return 0;
}
Result:
Assertion `waitid(P_ALL, 0, ((void *)0), 4) == 0' failed.
Move that code to sys_waitid().
User-visible change: sys_waitid() will return 0 on success, either
infop is set or not.
Note, there's another bug in wait_noreap_copyout() which affects
return value of sys_waitid(). It will be fixed in next patch.
