In case the vfio_init_intp fails we currently do not return an
error value. This patch fixes the bug. The returned value is not
explicit but in practice the error object is the one used to
report the error to the end-user and the actual returned error
value is not used.

The function's contract permits this by neglecting to say anything about
the return value %-)

The callers don't actually care about the value.

Yes the error is severe enough to tear things down. I dared to keep it
as is since the error now is reported in the Error object.

Thanks
