We take the `include/linux/err.h` file from Linux kernel with a bit
modification.
The purpose of this file is to use `PTR_ERR()`, `ERR_PTR()`, and
similar stuff to implement the kernel style return value which is
discussed at [1].
The small modification summary:
1) Add `__must_check` attribute macro.
2) `#include <liburing.h>` to take the `uring_likely` and
`uring_unlikely` macros.
This file is licensed under the GPL-2.0.
