migration: Fix race on qemu_file_shutdown()

In qemu_file_shutdown(), there's a possible race if with current order of
operation.  There're two major things to do:

  (1) Do real shutdown() (e.g. shutdown() syscall on socket)
  (2) Update qemufile's last_error

We must do (2) before (1) otherwise there can be a race condition like:

      page receiver                     other thread
      -------------                     ------------
      qemu_get_buffer()
                                        do shutdown()
        returns 0 (buffer all zero)
        (meanwhile we didn't check this retcode)
      try to detect IO error
        last_error==NULL, IO okay
      install ALL-ZERO page
                                        set last_error
      --> guest crash!

To fix this, we can also check retval of qemu_get_buffer(), but not all
APIs can be properly checked and ultimately we still need to go back to
qemu_file_get_error().  E.g. qemu_get_byte() doesn't return error.

Maybe some day a rework of qemufile API is really needed, but for now keep
using qemu_file_get_error() and fix it by not allowing that race condition
to happen.  Here shutdown() is indeed special because the last_error was
emulated.  For real -EIO errors it'll always be set when e.g. sendmsg()
error triggers so we won't miss those ones, only shutdown() is a bit tricky
here.
