[PATCH 2/3] backends/hostmem: Warn on qemu_madvise() failures

[Michal Privoznik <mprivozn@redhat.com>]

If user sets .merge or .dump attributes qemu_madvise() is called
with corresponding advice. But it is never checked for failure
which may mislead users into thinking the attribute is set
correctly.I believe at this point it's too late to report errors
in that case but let's report a warning at least.
