parisc: Drop the HP-UX ENOSYM and EREMOTERELEASE error codes
Those return codes are only defined for the parisc architecture and
are leftovers from when we wanted to be HP-UX compatible.
They are not returned by any Linux kernel syscall but do trigger
problems with the glibc strerrorname_np() and strerror() functions as
reported in glibc issue #31080.
There is no need to keep them, so simply remove them.

printf: fix errname.c list
On most architectures, gcc -Wextra warns about the list of error
numbers containing both EDEADLK and EDEADLOCK:
lib/errname.c:15:67: warning: initialized field overwritten [-Woverride-init]
15 | #define E(err) [err + BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO(err <= 0 || err > 300)] = "-" #err
| ^~~
lib/errname.c:172:2: note: in expansion of macro 'E'
172 | E(EDEADLK), /* EDEADLOCK */
| ^
On parisc, a similar error happens with -ECANCELLED, which is an
alias for ECANCELED.
Make the EDEADLK printing conditional on the number being distinct
from EDEADLOCK, and remove the -ECANCELLED bit completely as it
can never be hit.
To ensure these are correct, add static_assert lines that verify
all the remaining aliases are in fact identical to the canonical
name.

printf: add support for printing symbolic error names
It has been suggested several times to extend vsnprintf() to be able
to convert the numeric value of ENOSPC to print "ENOSPC". This
implements that as a %p extension: With %pe, one can do
if (IS_ERR(foo)) {
pr_err("Sorry, can't do that: %pe\n", foo);
return PTR_ERR(foo);
}
instead of what is seen in quite a few places in the kernel:
if (IS_ERR(foo)) {
pr_err("Sorry, can't do that: %ld\n", PTR_ERR(foo));
return PTR_ERR(foo);
}
If the value passed to %pe is an ERR_PTR, but the library function
errname() added here doesn't know about the value, the value is simply
printed in decimal. If the value passed to %pe is not an ERR_PTR, we
treat it as an ordinary %p and thus print the hashed value (passing
non-ERR_PTR values to %pe indicates a bug in the caller, but we can't
do much about that).
With my embedded hat on, and because it's not very invasive to do,
I've made it possible to remove this. The errname() function and
associated lookup tables take up about 3K. For most, that's probably
quite acceptable and a price worth paying for more readable
dmesg (once this starts getting used), while for those that disable
printk() it's of very little use - I don't see a
procfs/sysfs/seq_printf() file reasonably making use of this - and
they clearly want to squeeze vmlinux as much as possible. Hence the
default y if PRINTK.
The symbols to include have been found by massaging the output of
find arch include -iname 'errno*.h' | xargs grep -E 'define\s*E'
In the cases where some common aliasing exists
(e.g. EAGAIN=EWOULDBLOCK on all platforms, EDEADLOCK=EDEADLK on most),
I've moved the more popular one (in terms of 'git grep -w Efoo | wc)
to the bottom so that one takes precedence.
