It doesn't do error reporting correctly because these functions do not
get an Error **.  If you change that and use error_setg instead of
error_report, it should be okay.

However, I really think what your testing is not
runstate_is_prelaunch(), it is seccomp_effective().  If you structure
the test like that, it also lets you eliminate the #ifdef (which in
general we prefer to avoid).
