It's specific to Q_READY for me, as it's the request that returns void
and has no possibility to inform of an error.

The VDUSE userland instance could reply to other requests with
REQ_RESULT_FAILED and the driver still has capacity to recover from
the failure. If we always break the device on every request fail, we
deny that possibility.
