qdev: add return value to init() callbacks.

Sorry folks, but it has to be. One more of these invasive qdev patches.

We have a serious design bug in the qdev interface: device init
callbacks can't signal failure because the init() callback has no
return value. This patch fixes it.

We have already one case in-tree where this is needed:
Try -device virtio-blk-pci (without drive= specified) and watch qemu
segfault. This patch fixes it.

With usb+scsi being converted to qdev we'll get more devices where the
init callback can fail for various reasons.
