Concur. Having an example contrary to best practice makes it far too
easy for that example to be copied somewhere where it will later break.

Since we make a decision about code flow based on whether an earlier
error occurred, this SHOULD be:

{
    Error *err = NULL;
    SocketAddress *saddr = tcp_build_address(host_port, &err);

    if (!err) {
        socket_start_outgoing_migration(s, saddr, &err);
    }
    error_propagate(errp, err);
}
