On IRC, there was a discussion that this explicit assignment to errno is
now redundant (virAsprintf guarantees that errno is already set to
ENOMEM on failure [well, unless you used a stupid format string that
could cause EINVAL or EILSEQ, but who does that?]).  Up to you if you
want to delete that line before pushing this patch.
