Commits b6d7e9b66f..a43770df5d simplified the error propagation.
Similarly to commit 6fd5bef10b "qom: Make functions taking Error**
return bool, not void", let fw_cfg_add_from_generator() return a
boolean value, not void.
This allow to simplify parse_fw_cfg() and fixes the error handling
issue reported by Coverity (CID 1430396):

  In parse_fw_cfg():

    Variable assigned once to a constant guards dead code.

    Local variable local_err is assigned only once, to a constant
    value, making it effectively constant throughout its scope.
    If this is not the intent, examine the logic to see if there
    is a missing assignment that would make local_err not remain
    constant.

Reported-by: Peter Maydell <peter.maydell@linaro.org>
Fixes: Coverity CID 1430396: 'Constant' variable guards dead code (DEADCODE)
Fixes: 6552d87c48 ("softmmu/vl: Let -fw_cfg option take a 'gen_id' argument")
