[PATCH 7/7] remove the global errno from the kernel

[Arnd Bergmann]

The last in-kernel user of errno is gone, so we should
remove the definition and everything referring to it.
This also removes the now-unused lib/execve.c file
that was introduced earlier.

Also remove a few bogus definitions of __KERNEL_SYSCALLS__
that were already unused.
