[PATCH 06/19] util: change virPCIGetNetName() to not return error if device has no net name

[Laine Stump <laine@xxxxxxxxx>]

...and cleanup the callers to report it when it *is* an error.

In many cases It's useful for virPCIGetNetName() to not log an error
and simply return a NULL pointer when the given device isn't bound to
a net driver (e.g. we're looking at a VF that is permanently bound to
vfio-pci). The existing code would silently return an error in this
case, which could eventually lead to the dreaded "An error occurred
but the cause is unknown" log message.

This patch changes virPCIGetNetName() to still return success if the
device simply isn't bound to a net driver, and adjusts all the callers
that require a non-null netname to check for that condition and log an
error when it happens.
