[PATCH] Fix EINTR retry condition in pg_flush_data sync_file_range path.

Hi, Hackers,

While auditing src/backend/storage/file, I spotted a small but
unambiguous bug in pg_flush_data()'s sync_file_range() retry path.
Details below in the commit message; the fix is a one-token change.

Thanks,
DaeMyung

The retry branch compared the syscall return value (rc) against EINTR,
but sync_file_range() returns -1 on error and reports the actual errno
out-of-band, so rc == EINTR was always false and the retry was dead
code. When sync_file_range() was actually interrupted by a signal,
control fell through to the warning/error path instead of retrying.

Compare errno instead, matching the convention already used elsewhere
in this file (e.g. the pg_pread/pg_pwrite EINTR retries) and a few
lines down for ENOSYS in this same block.
