Subject: [PATCH] log: protect errno in log_open()
Commit 0b1f3c768ce1bd1490a5e53f539976dcef8ca765 has introduced log_open()
calls after exec fails post-fork. However, the log_open() call itself could
change the value of errno, which, for me, manifested in:
$ coredumpctl gdb
...
Failed to invoke gdb: Success
Fix this by using PROTECT_ERRNO in log_open().
