When all we do with an Error we receive into a local variable is
propagating to somewhere else, we can just as well receive it there
right away. The previous commit did that with a Coccinelle script I
consider fairly trustworthy. This commit uses the same script with
the matching of return taken out, i.e. we convert
if (!foo(..., &err)) {
...
error_propagate(errp, err);
...
}
to
if (!foo(..., errp)) {
...
...
}
This is unsound: @err could still be read between afterwards. I don't
know how to express "no read of @err without an intervening write" in
Coccinelle. Instead, I manually double-checked for uses of @err.
Suboptimal line breaks tweaked manually. qdev_realize() simplified
further to placate scripts/checkpatch.pl.
