[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] qmp: Check for returned data from __json_read in get_events

[Fam Zheng <famz@redhat.com>]

When QEMU process aborts and socket is closed, qmp client will not
detect it. When this happens, some qemu-iotests scripts will enter an
endless loop waiting for qmp events.

It's better we raise an exception in qmp.py to catch this and make the
test script stop.
