From: Hanna Czenczek <hreitz@redhat.com>

migration/savevm.c contains some calls to vmstate_save() that are
followed by migrate_set_error() if the integer return value indicates an
error.  migrate_set_error() requires that the `Error *` object passed to
it is set.  Therefore, vmstate_save() is assumed to always set *errp on
error.

Right now, that assumption is not met: vmstate_save_state_v() (called
internally by vmstate_save()) will not set *errp if
vmstate_subsection_save() or vmsd->post_save() fail.  Fix that by adding
an *errp parameter to vmstate_subsection_save(), and by generating a
generic error in case post_save() fails (as is already done for
pre_save()).

Without this patch, qemu will crash after vmstate_subsection_save() or
post_save() have failed inside of a vmstate_save() call (unless
migrate_set_error() then happen to discard the new error because
s->error is already set).  This happens e.g. when receiving the state
from a virtio-fs back-end (virtiofsd) fails.
