monitor_qmp_respond() takes both a response object and an error
object.  If an error object is non-null, the response object must be
null, and the response is built from the error object.

Of the two callers, one always passes a null response object, and one
a null error object.  Move building the response object from the error
object to the latter, and drop the error object parameter.
