    tools/xenstored: Don't assume errno will not be overwritten in lu_arch()
    
    At the moment, do_control_lu() will set errno to 0 before calling
    lu_arch() and then check errno. The expectation is nothing in lu_arch()
    will change the value unless there is an error.
    
    However, per errno(3), a function that succeeds is allowed to change
    errno. In fact, syslog() will overwrite errno if the logs are rotated
    at the time it is called.
    
    To prevent any further issue, errno is now always set before
    returning NULL.
    
    Additionally, errno is only checked when returning NULL so the client
    can see the error message if there is any.
