This is OK because qdev_device_add() still uses qerror_report(). This is
so because do_device_add() (the QMP/HMP command in question) hasn't been
converted yet.

We should convert old qerror_report() users to error_set() whenever
doing error-related changes. But sometimes it may not be practical to do
it right away (this case).
