    char: Clean up fragile use of error_is_set() · 0aff637e
    Markus Armbruster authored
    Using error_is_set(ERRP) to find out whether a function failed is
    either wrong, fragile, or unnecessarily opaque.  It's wrong when ERRP
    may be null, because errors go undetected when it is.  It's fragile
    when proving ERRP non-null involves a non-local argument.  Else, it's
    unnecessarily opaque (see commit 84d18f06
    
    ).
    
    The error_is_set(errp) in qemu_chr_new_from_opts() is merely fragile,
    because the callers never pass a null errp argument.
    
    Make the code more robust and more obviously correct: receive the
    error in a local variable, then propagate it through the parameter.
