tcg_region_init() calls one of qemu_mprotect_rwx(), qemu_mprotect_rw(), and mprotect(), then reports failure with error_setg_errno(&error_fatal, errno, ...).
The use of &error_fatal is undesirable. qapi/error.h advises: * Please don't error_setg(&error_fatal, ...), use error_report() and * exit(), because that's more obvious. The use of errno is wrong. qemu_mprotect_rwx() and qemu_mprotect_rw() wrap around qemu_mprotect__osdep(). qemu_mprotect__osdep() calls mprotect() on POSIX, VirtualProtect() on Windows, and reports failure with error_report(). VirtualProtect() doesn't set errno. mprotect() does, but error_report() may clobber it. Fix tcg_region_init() to report errors only when it calls mprotect(), and rely on qemu_mprotect_rwx()'s and qemu_mprotect_rw()'s error reporting otherwise. Use error_report(), not error_setg().
