[libvirt] [PATCH v4 2/6] fdstream: Report error from the I/O thread

[Michal Privoznik]

Problem with our error reporting is that the error object is a
thread local variable. That means if there's an error reported
within the I/O thread it gets logged and everything, but later
when the event loop aborts the stream it doesn't see the original
error. So we are left with some generic error. We can do better
if we copy the error message between the threads.
