[PATCH] mingw: do not set errno to 0 on success

From: Erik Faye-Lund <hidden>

Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

Currently do_lstat always sets errno to 0 on success. This incorrectly
overwrites previous errors.

Fetch the error-code into a temporary variable instead, and assign that
to errno on failure.

A bug I found while hunting down another regression. maint-worthy, perhaps?
