Fix issue reported by Coverity.
Coverity ID 13269 & 13266:

Function strerror(errno) has built strings only for non-negative errno values.
for negative values of errno it describe error as "Unknown error -errno"
to be more descriptive i put string "channel not found" taken from header.

The negative argument will be interpreted as a very large unsigned value.

In send_msg: Negative value used as argument to a function expecting
a positive value (for example, size of buffer or allocation)

Fixes: 445c6528b55f ("power: common interface for guest and host")
