Zijun Hu 3eff6a3e57 errseq: eliminate special limitation for macro MAX_ERRNO
Current errseq implementation depends on a very special precondition that
macro MAX_ERRNO must be (2^n - 1).

Eliminate the limitation by

- redefining macro ERRSEQ_SHIFT
- defining a new macro ERRNO_MASK instead of MAX_ERRNO for errno mask.

There is no plan to change the value of MAX_ERRNO, but this makes the
implementation more generic and eliminates the BUILD_BUG_ON().
