net/vhost-vdpa: 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].

The net_init_vhost_vdpa() passes @errp to error_prepend(), and as a
member of net_client_init_fun[], it's called in net_client_init1() and
gets @errp from this caller.

But because netdev_init_modern() passes &error_fatal to
net_client_init1(), then @errp parameter of net_init_vhost_vdpa() would
point to @error_fatal. This causes the error message in error_prepend()
to be lost because of the above issue.

To fix this, add missing ERRP_GUARD() at the beginning of this function.

[1]: Issue description in the commit message of commit ae7c80a7bd73
     ("error: New macro ERRP_GUARD()").
