The non-live bdrv_commit() function may return one of the following
errors: -ENOTSUP, -EBUSY, -EACCES, -EIO.  The only error that is
checked in the HMP handler is -EBUSY, so the monitor command 'commit'
silently fails for all error cases other than 'Device is in use'.
Return error using monitor_printf() and strerror(), and covert existing
qerror_report() calls in do_commit() to use monitor_printf().

Suggest "Report error".

In the same vein, subject could be

    block: Monitor command commit neglects to report some errors

Patch looks good to me.
