[Qemu-devel] [PATCH RFC 4/4] memory-backend-file: error out if failed to allocate memory

[Hu Tao]

If user adds a memory-backend-file object using object_add command,
specifying a non-existing directory for property mem-path, qemu
will core dump with message:

  /nonexistingdir: No such file or directory
  Bad ram offset fffffffffffff000
  Aborted (core dumped)

This patch fixes this problem.
