[PULL 02/33] vl: Fix an assert failure in error path

[Paolo Bonzini]

From: Zhenzhong Duan <zhenzhong.duan@intel.com>

Based on the description of error_setg(), the local variable err in
qemu_maybe_daemonize() should be initialized to NULL.

Without fix, the uninitialized *errp triggers assert failure which
doesn't show much valuable information.

Before the fix:
qemu-system-x86_64: ../util/error.c:59: error_setv: Assertion `*errp == NULL' 
failed.

After fix:
qemu-system-x86_64: cannot create PID file: Cannot open pid file: Permission 
denied
