Functions that use an Error **errp parameter to return errors should not also report them to the user, because reporting is the caller's job. When the caller does, the error is reported twice. When it doesn't (because it recovered from the error), there is no error to report, i.e. the report is bogus.
cxl_fmws_link_targets() violates this principle: it calls error_setg(&error_fatal, ...) via cxl_fmws_link(). Goes back to commit 584f722eb3ab (hw/cxl: Make the CXL fixed memory windows devices.) Currently harmless, because cxl_fmws_link_targets()'s callers always pass &error_fatal. Clean this up by converting cxl_fmws_link() to Error.
