The original code where this was copied from uses 'str' to be part of
the error message. Here it's unused.

Is it necessary to report the error as virCommandWait() would report?
Isn't it enough just to notify the user that the command failed.
Especially since error code 21 [1] is not really an unexpected error
code in this code path (it's even documented in the man page for
iscsiadm). In such case the error message in the "else" section is
better than the raw output.

Also is INTERNAL_ERROR really necessary in case where the session
wasn't found. [2].

[2]. Ah that's pre-existing.

Buffer for 'error' is leaked.
