The return type of the getentropy stub is wrongly defined as ssize_t,
while both the <sys/random.h> header and the Linux implementation
define it as int. This patch fixes that.
Changelog:
* stdlib/getentropy.c (getentropy): Change return type to int.
(cherry picked from commit 2b34e2716f1e84b2c3457ffc868c3dc775b55845)
