nptl: Add EOVERFLOW checks for futex calls
Some futex-internal calls require additional check for EOVERFLOW (as
indicated by [1] [2] [3]). For both mutex and rwlock code, EOVERFLOW is
handle as ETIMEDOUT; since it indicate to the caller that the blocking
operation could not be issued.
For mutex it avoids a possible issue where PTHREAD_MUTEX_ROBUST_* might
assume EOVERFLOW indicate futex has succeed, and for PTHREAD_MUTEX_PP_*
it avoid a potential busy infinite loop. For rwlock and semaphores, it
also avoids potential busy infinite loops.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and i686-linux-gnu, although EOVERFLOW
won't be possible with current usage (since all timeouts on 32-bit
architectures with 32-bit time_t support will be in the range of
32-bit time_t).
