[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 3/4] scsi: Improve error reporting for invalid drive property

[Markus Armbruster]

When setting "realized" fails, scsi_bus_legacy_add_drive() passes the
error to qerror_report_err(), then returns an unspecific "Setting
drive property failed" error, which is reported further up the call
chain.

Example:

    $ qemu-system-x86_64 -nodefaults -S -display none \
    > -drive if=scsi,id=foo,file=tmp.qcow2 -global isa-fdc.driveA=foo
    qemu-system-x86_64: -drive if=scsi,id=foo,file=tmp.qcow2: Property 
'scsi-disk.drive' can't take value 'foo', it's in use
    qemu-system-x86_64: Setting drive property failed
    qemu-system-x86_64: Initialization of device lsi53c895a failed: Device 
initialization failed

Clean up the obvious way: simply return the original error to the
caller.  Gets rid of the second message in the above error cascade.
