virtio_load() attempts to load config_len bytes from the migration
stream. If that's huge (e.g. 4g) this will uselessly spin
beyond the end of the stream for seconds. Not nice.
Check qemu_file_get_error() and bail out early, instead.

Also note that config_len is int32_t but is coerced to unsigned when
used. Switch it to uint32_t to make this clearer.

Fixes: 2f5732e964 ("Allow mismatched virtio config-len")
