Subject: [PATCH] getloadavg: use sysinfo() instead of /proc/loadavg

Based on a patch by Szabolcs Nagy.
---
This is a followup to a recent IRC conversation.  getloadavg() doesn't really
need to open a file in /proc, since a sysinfo() syscall should suffice.  Based
on a patch by nsz, slightly adjusted.  Return value of sysinfo() call is not
checked, since the only documented failure is with EFAULT.
