migration/savevm.c contains some calls to vmstate_save() that are followed by migrate_set_error() if the integer return value indicates an error. migrate_set_error() requires that the `Error *` object passed to it is set. Therefore, vmstate_save() is assumed to always set *errp on error.
Right now, that assumption is not met: vmstate_save_state_v() (called internally by vmstate_save()) will not set *errp if vmstate_subsection_save() or vmsd->post_save() fail. Fix that by adding an *errp parameter to vmstate_subsection_save(), and by generating a generic error in case post_save() fails (as is already done for pre_save()). Without this patch, qemu will crash after vmstate_subsection_save() or post_save() have failed inside of a vmstate_save() call (unless migrate_set_error() then happen to discard the new error because s->error is already set). This happens e.g. when receiving the state from a virtio-fs back-end (virtiofsd) fails.
