x86: Fix x86_cpu_new() error handling
The Error ** argument must be NULL, &error_abort, &error_fatal, or a pointer to a variable containing NULL. Passing an argument of the latter kind twice without clearing it in between is wrong: if the first call sets an error, it no longer points to NULL for the second call. x86_cpu_new() is wrong that way: it passes &local_err to object_property_set_uint() without checking it, and then to qdev_realize(). If both fail, we'll trip error_setv()'s assertion. To assess the bug's impact, we'd need to figure out how to make both calls fail. Too much work for ignorant me, sorry. Fix by checking for failure right away.
