[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 01/10] error: New convenience function error_report_err()

[Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com>]

I've typed error_report("%s", error_get_pretty(ERR)) too many times
already, and I've fixed too many instances of qerror_report_err(ERR)
to error_report("%s", error_get_pretty(ERR)) as well.  Capture the
pattern in a convenience function.

Since it's almost invariably followed by error_free(), stuff that into
the convenience function as well.

The next patch will put it to use.
