From: Zhao Liu <zhao1....@intel.com>
As the comment in qapi/error, passing @errp to error_prepend() requires
ERRP_GUARD():
* = Why, when and how to use ERRP_GUARD() =
*
* Without ERRP_GUARD(), use of the @errp parameter is restricted:
...
* - It should not be passed to error_prepend(), error_vprepend() or
* error_append_hint(), because that doesn't work with &error_fatal.
* ERRP_GUARD() lifts these restrictions.
*
* To use ERRP_GUARD(), add it right at the beginning of the function.
* @errp can then be used without worrying about the argument being
* NULL or &error_fatal.
ERRP_GUARD() could avoid the case when @errp is the pointer of
error_fatal, the user can't see this additional information, because
exit() happens in error_setg earlier than information is added [1].
The remote_object_set_fd() passes @errp to error_prepend(), and as a
PropertyInfo.set method, its @errp is so widely sourced that it is
necessary to protect it with ERRP_GUARD().
To avoid the issue like [1] said, add missing ERRP_GUARD() at the
beginning of this function.

("error: New macro ERRP_GUARD()").
