Mateusz Guzik 23e4903364 fs: predict no error in close()
Vast majority of the time the system call returns 0.

Letting the compiler know shortens the routine (119 -> 116) and the fast
path.

Disasm starting at the call to __fput_sync():

before:
<+55>:    call   0xffffffff816b0da0 <__fput_sync>
<+60>:    lea    0x201(%rbx),%eax
<+66>:    cmp    $0x1,%eax
<+69>:    jbe    0xffffffff816ab707 <__x64_sys_close+103>
<+71>:    mov    %ebx,%edx
<+73>:    movslq %ebx,%rax
<+76>:    and    $0xfffffffd,%edx
<+79>:    cmp    $0xfffffdfc,%edx
<+85>:    mov    $0xfffffffffffffffc,%rdx
<+92>:    cmove  %rdx,%rax
<+96>:    pop    %rbx
<+97>:    pop    %rbp
<+98>:    jmp    0xffffffff82242fa0 <__x86_return_thunk>
<+103>:   mov    $0xfffffffffffffffc,%rax
<+110>:   jmp    0xffffffff816ab700 <__x64_sys_close+96>
<+112>:   mov    $0xfffffffffffffff7,%rax
<+119>:   jmp    0xffffffff816ab700 <__x64_sys_close+96>

after:
<+56>:    call   0xffffffff816b0da0 <__fput_sync>
<+61>:    xor    %eax,%eax
<+63>:    test   %ebp,%ebp
<+65>:    jne    0xffffffff816ab6ea <__x64_sys_close+74>
<+67>:    pop    %rbx
<+68>:    pop    %rbp
<+69>:    jmp    0xffffffff82242fa0 <__x86_return_thunk> # the jmp out
<+74>:    lea    0x201(%rbp),%edx
<+80>:    mov    $0xfffffffffffffffc,%rax
<+87>:    cmp    $0x1,%edx
<+90>:    jbe    0xffffffff816ab6e3 <__x64_sys_close+67>
<+92>:    mov    %ebp,%edx
<+94>:    and    $0xfffffffd,%edx
<+97>:    cmp    $0xfffffdfc,%edx
<+103>:   cmovne %rbp,%rax
<+107>:   jmp    0xffffffff816ab6e3 <__x64_sys_close+67>
<+109>:   mov    $0xfffffffffffffff7,%rax
<+116>:   jmp    0xffffffff816ab6e3 <__x64_sys_close+67>
