[systemd-devel] [PATCH] Fix error message if PR_SET_CHILD_REAPER is not available

Hi,

I just hit some possible wrong error messages. Since prctl() is a 
system call it won't return -errno but just -1 and set errno to some value.

The attached patch should fix those error messages, if, for example, PR_SET_CHILD_REAPER is 
not yet implemented due to an older kernel.

BTW the REQUIREMENTS section in the README still has Linux kernel >= 2.6.39 in it. May be it 
should at least be updated to reflect a *recommended* version of Linux kernel >= 3.4?  
Because the messages I just tried to fix are log_error() and not log_warning().

Best,

	Marius Tolzmann
