O-Subject: [RHEL-7.5 qemu-kvm PATCH v3 18/41] dump: Propagate errors into qmp_dump_guest_memory()
Bugzilla: 1411490

From: zhanghailiang <zhang.zhanghailiang@huawei.com>

The code calls dump_error() on error, and even passes it a suitable
message.  However, the message is thrown away, and its callers pass
up only success/failure.  All qmp_dump_guest_memory() can do is set
a generic error.

Propagate the errors properly, so qmp_dump_guest_memory() can return
a more useful error.
