[Qemu-devel] [PATCH RFC v7 1/9] Fix segmentation fault when qemu_signal_init fails

[Fei Li <fli@suse.com>]

When qemu_signal_init() fails in qemu_init_main_loop(), we return
without setting an error.  Its callers crash then when they try to
report the error with error_report_err().

To avoid such segmentation fault, add a new Error parameter to make
the call trace to propagate the err to the final caller.
