[PATCH for-7.1?] kvm: don't use perror() without useful errno


From: Cornelia Huck
Subject: [PATCH for-7.1?] kvm: don't use perror() without useful errno
Date: Thu, 28 Jul 2022 16:24:46 +0200

perror() is designed to append the decoded errno value to a
string. This, however, only makes sense if we called something that
actually sets errno prior to that.

For the callers that check for split irqchip support that is not the
case, and we end up with confusing error messages that end in
"success". Use error_report() instead.

Not sure if that is still 7.1 material; on the one hand, it's a small
fix; on the other hand, it has been like that forever...

I've kept the Arm-specific message in place, although it might be redundant.
