qga: Clean up fragile use of error_is_set()

Using error_is_set(ERRP) to find out whether a function failed is
either wrong, fragile, or unnecessarily opaque.  It's wrong when ERRP
may be null, because errors go undetected when it is.  It's fragile
when proving ERRP non-null involves a non-local argument.  Else, it's
unnecessarily opaque (see commit 84d18f0).

The error_is_set(errp) in the guest agent command handler functions
are merely fragile, because all chall chains (do_qmp_dispatch() via
the generated marshalling functions) pass a non-null errp argument.

Make the code more robust and more obviously correct: receive the
error in a local variable, then propagate it through the parameter.
