Fix the build by using strerror() to replace strerror_r(). Since
strerror() is thread-unsafe, use a separate local mutex to protect
the action. The steps would then become: Acquire the mutex first,
invoke strerror(), copy the string from strerror() to the designated
buffer and then drop the mutex.

Hmm, I think we even _need_ to cap the string earlier.

A string in the 9pfs protocol is a 2 byte length field plus the string.
In case of a ring larger than 65535 bytes this would mean the result of
strerror() could (in theory) overflow the string format of 9pfs.

Additionally the string should be a _short_ description of the error, so
I'd like to suggest to not use ring_size as the upper bound for the string
length, but a fixed value defined as a macro, e.g.:

#define MAX_ERRSTR_LEN 80
