PATCH 1/1 libxfs: don't pass negative errnos to strerror()

The error negation work in 12b5319 tripped up a little bit when we're reporting errors via strerror(). By negating the error before passing it to strerror, we get i.e.

mkfs.xfs: pwrite64 failed: Unknown error -22

Keep the error positive, but return -error, just as we do in the else clauses in these functions.

This looks good to me, and simple enough.

consider it
