This series addresses two error handling issues in the ivshmem
PCI device:
1. Handle the return value of kvm_irqchip_add_irqfd_notifier_gsi()
which was being silently ignored.
2. Check for errors from setup_interrupt() in process_msg_connect()
before continuing to ioeventfd setup.
Changes from v1:
- Made setup_interrupt() return bool per QEMU conventions (Markus)
- Simplified errp check using bool return, dropped ERRP_GUARD()
- Dropped vector number from error message

The return value of kvm_irqchip_add_irqfd_notifier_gsi() was being
ignored. Propagate the error to the caller via errp.
Also change setup_interrupt() to return bool to follow QEMU error
handling conventions, making error checks at call sites simpler.
Resolves the TODO comment at the call site.

setup_interrupt() can fail and report via errp, but
process_msg_connect() was ignoring the error and continuing
to ivshmem_add_eventfd(). Check the bool return to avoid
operating on a vector whose interrupt setup failed.
Resolves the TODO comment at the call site.
