Handle wait3() errors.
My guess was that wait3() with WNOHANG could never return -1 and an error. However issue #2897 may possibly indicate that this could happen under non clear conditions. While we try to understand this better, better to handle a return value of -1 explicitly, otherwise in the case a BGREWRITE is in progress but wait3() returns -1, the effect is to match the first branch of the if/else block since server.rdb_child_pid is -1, and call backgroundSaveDoneHandler() without a good reason, that will, in turn, crash the Redis server with an assertion.
