Subject: vl: Fix an assert failure in error path

Git-commit: 38f71349c7c4969bc14da4da1c70b8cc4078d596

Based on the description of error_setg(), the local variable err in
qemu_maybe_daemonize() should be initialized to NULL.

Without fix, the uninitialized *errp triggers assert failure which
doesn't show much valuable information.

Before the fix:
qemu-system-x86_64: ../util/error.c:59: error_setv: Assertion `*errp == NULL' failed.

After fix:
qemu-system-x86_64: cannot create PID file: Cannot open pid file: Permission denied
