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:
...

*   error_append_hint(), because that doesn't work with &error_fatal.

* To use ERRP_GUARD(), add it right at the beginning of the function.

* NULL or &error_fatal.

ERRP_GUARD() could avoid the case when @errp is &error_fatal, the user
can't see this additional information, because exit() happens in
error_setg earlier than information is added [1].

In target/s390x/cpu_models.c, there are 2 functions passing @errp to
error_prepend() without ERRP_GUARD():
- check_compatibility()
- s390_realize_cpu_model()

Though both their @errp parameters point to their callers' local @err
virables and don't cause the issue as [1] said, to follow the
requirement of @errp, also add missing ERRP_GUARD() at their beginning.

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