[libvirt] [PATCH] Fix detection of errors in QEMU device_add command

["Daniel P. Berrange" <berrange@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The code assumed that 'device_add' returned an empty string upon
success. This is not true, it sometimes prints random debug info.
THus we need to check for an explicit fail string

* src/qemu/qemu_monitor_text.c: Fix error checking of the device_add
  monitor command
