When you try to set qtest property "log" while the qtest object is

qtest,id=qt0,chardev=chrqt0,log=/dev/null
     QEMU 7.1.50 monitor - type 'help' for more information
     (qemu) qom-set /objects/qt0 log qtest.log
     Error: Insufficient permission to perform this operation

This implies it could work with "sufficient permission".  It can't.
Change the error message to:

     Error: Property 'log' can not be set now

Can it be set later? ... if not, that error message is almost as confusing as the original one. Maybe it's better to tell the users *when* they can set the property?
