QEMU will be terminated if the specified CPU type isn't supported
in machine_run_board_init(). The list of supported CPU type names
is tracked by mc->valid_cpu_types.

The error handling can be used to propagate error messages, to be
consistent how the errors are handled for other situations in the
same function.

No functional change intended.
