So Peter and Michael pointed that this patch didn't pass on make check causing
this:

qemu-system-x86_64: -object
filter-mirror,id=qtest-f0,netdev=qtest-bn0,queue=tx,outdev=mirror0: Device

And the reason was there was no return after qemu_chr_fe_init, making it fatally
go to the "err:" label.

Also, "nf->netdev_id" wasn't the device not found, but "s->outdev"; which makes
sense to have two error messages here one for when Null and one for when it's
not found, otherwise we'd fall into not very clear error messages like:

qemu-system-x86_64: -object filter-mirror,id=test-object,netdev=ndev0: Device
'(null)' not found

I'm fixing all this and sending a v2 shortly.
Thanks for the review and tests.
