[PULL 16/43] hw/net/xen_nic: Fix missing ERRP_GUARD() for error_prepend()



From: Zhao Liu <zhao1.liu@xxxxxxxxx>

As the comment in qapi/error, passing @errp to error_prepend() requires
ERRP_GUARD():

* = Why, when and how to use ERRP_GUARD() =
*
* Without ERRP_GUARD(), use of the @errp parameter is restricted:
...
* - It should not be passed to error_prepend(), error_vprepend() or
*   error_append_hint(), because that doesn't work with &error_fatal.
* ERRP_GUARD() lifts these restrictions.
*
* To use ERRP_GUARD(), add it right at the beginning of the function.
* @errp can then be used without worrying about the argument being
* NULL or &error_fatal.

ERRP_GUARD() could avoid the case when @errp is the pointer of
error_fatal, the user can't see this additional information, because
exit() happens in error_setg earlier than information is added [1].

The xen_netdev_connect() passes @errp to error_prepend(), and its @errp
parameter is from xen_device_frontend_changed().

Though its @errp points to @local_err of xen_device_frontend_changed(),
to follow the requirement of @errp, add missing ERRP_GUARD() at the
beginning of this function.

     ("error: New macro ERRP_GUARD()").
