util: pidfile: Sanitize return values of virPidFileReadPathIfAlive

The callers don't actually use the returned errno for reporting errors.

Additionally virFileResolveAllLinks returns -1 rather than -errno on
error thus you'd get a spurious EPERM even on other errors.

Don't try to return errno in this case.
