This is an incremental step in converting vmstate loading
code to report error via Error objects instead of directly
printing it to console/monitor.
It is ensured that qemu_loadvm_state() must report an error
in errp, in case of failure.

When postcopy live migration runs, the device states are loaded by
both the qemu coroutine process_incoming_migration_co() and the
postcopy_ram_listen_thread(). Therefore, it is important that the
coroutine also reports the error in case of failure, with
error_report_err(). Otherwise, the source qemu will not display
any errors before going into the postcopy pause state.

This is problematic because it results in duplicate error reports when
!mis->exit_on_error; in that case the query-migrate QMP command reports the error and this error reporting is redundant.

migration_incoming_state_destroy(); if (mis->exit_on_error) {
          WITH_QEMU_LOCK_GUARD(&s->error_mutex) {
-            error_report_err(s->error);
+            error_free(s->error);

This change is problematic because s->error set somewhere else here will be ignored.

I think the two changes I commented can be simply removed without causing other problems.
