hw/vfio/helpers: Fix missing ERRP_GUARD() for error_prepend()
As the comment in qapi/error, passing @errp to error_prepend() requires
ERRP_GUARD():

* = Why, when and how to use ERRP_GUARD() =
*
* Without ERRP_GUARD(), use of the @errp parameter is restricted:
...
* - It should not be passed to error_prepend(), error_vprepend() or
*   error_append_hint(), because that doesn't work with &error_fatal.
* ERRP_GUARD() lifts these restrictions.
*
* To use ERRP_GUARD(), add it right at the beginning of the function.
* @errp can then be used without worrying about the argument being
* NULL or &error_fatal.

ERRP_GUARD() could avoid the case when @errp is &error_fatal, the user
can't see this additional information, because exit() happens in
error_setg earlier than information is added [1].

In hw/vfio/helpers.c, there are 3 functions passing @errp to
error_prepend() without ERRP_GUARD():
 - vfio_set_irq_signaling()
 - vfio_device_get_name()
 - vfio_device_set_fd()

There are too many possible callers to check the impact of this defect;
it may or may not be harmless. Thus it is necessary to protect their
@errp with ERRP_GUARD().

To avoid the issue like [1] said, add missing ERRP_GUARD() at their
beginning.

     ("error: New macro ERRP_GUARD()").
