This is not good for a few reasons. The most important ones are that
we most probably shouldn't be using error_report() in new qapi code. The
other reason is that this function doesn't actually handle the error.

I've added a similar function in hmp.c but just to save some typing,
but we shouldn't do this elsewhere.
