[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 21/32] qobject: New qdict_from_jsonf_nofail()

[Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com>]

Many uses of qobject_from_jsonf() convert JSON objects.  Create new
convenience function qdict_from_jsonf_nofail() that includes the
conversion to QDict.  The next few commits will put it to use.
