block/file-posix: Fix laio_init() error handling crash bug
raw_aio_attach_aio_context() passes uninitialized Error *local_err by reference to laio_init() via aio_setup_linux_aio(). When laio_init() fails, it passes it on to error_setg_errno(), tripping error_setv()'s assertion unless @local_err is null by dumb luck. Fix by initializing @local_err properly.
