[RFC PATCH 11/19] qapi: Simplify how qmp_dispatch() gets the request ID

[Markus Armbruster]

We convert the request object to a QDict twice: first in
qmp_dispatch() to get the request ID, and then again in
qmp_dispatch_check_obj(), which converts to QDict, then checks and
returns it.  We can't get the request ID from the latter, because it's
null when the qdict flunks the checks.

Move getting the request ID into qmp_dispatch_check_obj().
