Expose io_error in SyscallError

If a bpf syscall fails, it would be useful to know if this is due to
not having enough permissions or that the kernel does not have BPF support.

Ubuntu kernels are compiled without `CONFIG_BPF_LIRC_MODE2` so this is
important for https://github.com/seanyoung/cir/ : I would like to
present a useful error saying your kernel does not support BPF IR
decoders, go fix your kernel.

Also, when removing all BPF programs using `cir config --clear` then
if there is no support for BPF, there is nothing to clear and the
syscall error can be ignored.
