Commit 3d85885a1b1f3 tried to fix error handling, but it actually
went into the wrong direction by dropping the local Error *.
In the default KVM case, the rationale is to try the in-kernel XICS first,
and if not possible, to fallback to userland XICS. Passing errp everywhere
makes this fallback impossible if errp is &error_fatal (which happens to
be the case). And anyway, if the caller would pass a regular &local_err,
things would be worse: we could possibly pass an already set *errp to
error_setg() and crash, or return an error even in case of success.
So we definitely need a local Error * and only propagate it when we're
done with the fallback logic. This is what this patch does.
