Subject: [PATCH] perf bench futex, wake: Fixlets for futex_wait return checks

- Avoid checking against EINTR which has for a very long time no longer
been the case for spurious wakeups. Properly use EAGAIN instead - albeit
there should be no error scenarios in these workloads.

- Do not bogusly check syscall(2) return, but instead rely on errno.

- Use warn() instead of warnx() for we want an appended message.
