While we're here, fix Syscall9 on NetBSD and OpenBSD:
it was storing the results into the wrong memory locations.
I guess no one uses that function's results on those systems.
Part of cleaning up stack traces and argument frame information.

Change 231af8ac63aa (CL 7314062) made runtime.enteryscall()
set m->mcache = nil, which means that we can no longer use
syscall.errstr in syscall.Syscall and syscall.Syscall6, since it
requires a new buffer to be allocated for holding the error string.
Instead, we use pre-allocated per-M storage to hold error strings
from syscalls made while in entersyscall mode, and call
runtime.findnull to calculate the lengths.
Fixes#4994.

Syscalls return `-1' on error and the representation is always
32-bits. The `$-1' literal in 64-bit assembly is always the
64-bit representation. So this change makes sure that we
always do a 32-bit comparison when checking for error.
Also makes sure that in the error case, we return a 64-bit
`-1' from runtime.seek.
Fixes the arithmetic for handling the error-string in
runtime.Syscall6.

Offsets for return values from seek were miscalculated
and a translation from 32-bit code for error handling
was incorrect.

This set of changes extends the Plan 9 support
to include the AMD64 architecture and should
work on all versions of Plan 9.
