The qmp-input visitor was allowing callers to play rather fast and loose: when visiting a QDict, you could grab members of the root dictionary without first pushing into the dict; the final such culprit was the QOM code for converting to and from object properties. But we are about to tighten the input visitor, at which point user_creatable_add_type() as called with a QMP input visitor via qmp_object_add() MUST follow the same paradigms as everyone else, of pushing into the struct before grabbing its keys.
The use of 'err ? NULL : &err' is temporary; a later patch will clean that up when it splits visit_end_struct(). The change has no impact to the testsuite now, but is required to avoid a failure in tests/test-netfilter once qmp-input is made stricter to detect inconsistent 'name' arguments on the root visit. Since user_creatable_add_type() is also called with OptsVisitor through user_creatable_add_opts(), we must also check that there is no negative impact there; both pre- and post-patch, we see: $ ./x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -nographic -nodefaults -qmp stdio -object secret,id=sec0,data=letmein,format=raw,foo=bar qemu-system-x86_64: Property '.foo' not found That is, the only new checking that the new visit_end_struct() can perform is for excess input, but we already catch excess input earlier in object_property_set().
