The Error ** argument must be NULL, &error_abort, &error_fatal, or a
pointer to a variable containing NULL. Passing an argument of the
latter kind twice without clearing it in between is wrong: if the
first call sets an error, it no longer points to NULL for the second
call.
x86_cpu_new() is wrong that way: it passes &local_err to
object_property_set_uint() without checking it, and then to
qdev_realize(). If both fail, we'll trip error_setv()'s assertion.
To assess the bug's impact, we'd need to figure out how to make both
calls fail. Too much work for ignorant me, sorry.
Fix by checking for failure right away.
