    mpool/mpool_get.c: Avoid clobbering 'errno' when handling 'pread' errors
    
    POSIX.1-2024 states that the 'free' function "shall not modify errno if
    ptr is a null pointer or a pointer previously returned as if by malloc()
    and not yet deallocated". However this is a fairly recent addition
    and non-compliant allocators might still clobber 'errno', causing
    'mpool_get' to return the wrong error code. Fix this by saving
    and restoring 'errno' after calling 'free'.
