"static inline" makes sense in .h files. But in .c files it's useless
decoration, the compiler should just make its own decisions there, and
it can do that.
hence, replace all remaining uses of "static line" by a simple" static"
in all .c files (but keep them in .h files, where they make sense)
-1 was used everywhere, but -EBADF or -EBADFD started being used in various
places. Let's make things consistent in the new style.
Note that there are two candidates:
EBADF 9 Bad file descriptor
EBADFD 77 File descriptor in bad state
Since we're initializating the fd, we're just assigning a value that means
"no fd yet", so it's just a bad file descriptor, and the first errno fits
better. If instead we had a valid file descriptor that became invalid because
of some operation or state change, the other errno would fit better.
In some places, initialization is dropped if unnecessary.
Let's raise our supported baseline a bit: CLOCK_BOOTTIME started to work
with timerfd in kernel 3.15 (i.e. back in 2014), let's require support
for it now.
This will raise our baseline only modestly from 3.13 → 3.15.
