tools: Add err.h with ERR_PTR PTR_ERR interface

Adding part of the kernel's <linux/err.h> interface:

  inline void * __must_check ERR_PTR(long error);
  inline long   __must_check PTR_ERR(__force const void *ptr);
  inline bool   __must_check IS_ERR(__force const void *ptr);

It will be used to propagate error through pointers in following
patches.

/*
* Original kernel header comment:
*
* Kernel pointers have redundant information, so we can use a
* scheme where we can return either an error code or a normal
* pointer with the same return value.
*
* This should be a per-architecture thing, to allow different
* error and pointer decisions.
*
* Userspace note:
* The same principle works for userspace, because 'error' pointers
* fall down to the unused hole far from user space, as described
* in Documentation/x86/x86_64/mm.txt for x86_64 arch:
*
* 0000000000000000 - 00007fffffffffff (=47 bits) user space, different per mm hole caused by [48:63] sign extension
* ffffffffffe00000 - ffffffffffffffff (=2 MB) unused hole
*
* It should be the same case for other architectures, because
* this code is used in generic kernel code.
