[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v6 8/9] i386/kvm/pci-assign: Fix return type of verify_irqchip_kernel()

[Mao Zhongyi]

When the function no success value to transmit, it usually make the
function return void. It has turned out not to be a success, because
it means that the extra local_err variable and error_propagate() will
be needed. It leads to cumbersome code, therefore, transmit success/
failure in the return value is worth. So fix the return type to avoid
it.
