[Qemu-trivial] [PATCH] hw/vfio: improve error message when cannot init vfio event notifiers

[Jim Quigley]

More information is required to assist trouble-shooting when
QEMU fails to initialise the event notifications for devices
assigned with VFIO-PCI. Instead of supplying the user with a cryptic
error number only, print out a proper error message with strerror()
so that the user has a better way to figure out what the problem is.
