[libvirt] [PATCH 1/3] util: gettid() is Linux-specific

The manual page clearly states that

  gettid() is Linux-specific and should not be used in programs
  that are intended to be portable.

Unfortunately, it looks like macOS implemented the functionality
and defined SYS_gettid accordingly, only to deprecate syscall()
altogether with 10.12 (Sierra), released last late year.

To avoid compilation errors, call gettid() on Linux only.
