The spapr_alloc_htab() and spapr_reset_htab() functions currently handle
all errors with error_setg(&error_abort, ...).  That's correct for
spapr_reset_htab() - if anything goes wrong there, there's really nothing
we can do about it.  For spapr_alloc_htab() &error_fatal would make more
sense, since it occurs during initialization.

But in any case the callers are really better placed to decide on the error
handling.  So, instead make the functions use the error propagation
infrastructure.

While we're at it improve the messages themselves a bit, and clean up the
indentation a little.

Do you want to explicitly "return" from here and other places in this
patch like you do in 4/11 to improve readability ?

error_setg_errno() is nicer than calling strerror().

Given we still need the if (shift > 0), I don't think it really makes
any difference to readability.

Will adjust in next spin, thanks.
