[PULL 1/1] hw/core: fix error checkig in smp_parse

[Eduardo Habkost]

From: Daniel P. Berrangé <berrange@redhat.com>

The machine_set_smp() mistakenly checks 'errp' not '*errp',
and so thinks there is an error every single time it runs.
This causes it to jump to the end of the method, skipping
the max CPUs checks. The caller meanwhile sees no error
and so carries on execution. The result of all this is:

 $ qemu-system-x86_64 -smp -1
 qemu-system-x86_64: GLib: ../glib/gmem.c:142: failed to allocate 481036337048 
bytes

instead of

 $ qemu-system-x86_64 -smp -1
 qemu-system-x86_64: Invalid SMP CPUs -1. The max CPUs supported by machine 
'pc-i440fx-6.1' is 255

This is a regression from
