prctl.2: Correct some details for PR_SET_TIMERSLACK
In kernel/sys.c, arg2 is an unsigned long value and it will never less than 0. Also, since kernel commit id da8b44d5a9f8 (Linux 4.6), timer_slack_ns and default timer_slack_ns have been converted into u64, the return value of PR_GET_TIMERSLACK has been limited under ULONG_MAX. The timer slack value also can be inherited by a child created via fork(2).
