[libvirt] [PATCH] qemu: Report errors from iohelper

Currently, we use iohelper when saving/restoring a domain.
However, if there's some kind of error (like I/O) it is not
propagated to libvirt. Since it is not qemu who is doing
the actual write() it will not get error. The iohelper does.
Therefore we should check for iohelper errors as it makes
libvirt more user friendly.
