[libvirt] [PATCH 3/6] conf: report error on chain lookup failure

[Eric Blake]

The chain lookup function was inconsistent on whether it left
a message in the log when looking up a name that is not found
on the chain (leaving a message for OOM or if name was
relative but not part of the chain), and could litter the log
even when successful (when name was relative but deep in the
chain, use of virFindBackingFile early in the chain would complain
about a file not found).  It's easier to make the function
consistently emit a message exactly once on failure, and to let
all callers rely on the clean semantics.

* src/util/virstoragefile.c (virStorageFileChainLookup): Always
report error on failure.  Simplify relative lookups.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainBlockCommit): Avoid
overwriting error.
