os/user: fix buffer retry loop on macOS

getpwnam_r and friends return the errno as the result,
not in the global errno. The code changes in CL 449316
inadvertently started using the global errno.
So if a lookup didn't fit in the first buffer size,
it was treated as not found instead of growing the buffer.

Fixes #56942.
