char: Slightly better error reporting when chardev is in use
Both $ qemu-system-x86_64 -chardev null,id=chr0,mux=on -mon chardev=chr0 -mon chardev=chr0 -mon chardev=chr0 -mon chardev=chr0 -mon chardev=chr0 and $ qemu-system-x86_64 -chardev null,id=chr0 -mon chardev=chr0 -mon chardev=chr0 fail with qemu-system-x86_64: -mon chardev=chr0: Device 'chr0' is in use Improve to qemu-system-x86_64: -mon chardev=chr0: too many uses of multiplexed chardev 'chr0' (maximum is 4) and qemu-system-x86_64: -mon chardev=chr0: chardev 'chr0' is already in use Signed-off-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Marc-André Lureau <marcandre.lureau@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Michael Tokarev <mjt@tls.msk.ru> Signed-off-by: Michael Tokarev <mjt@tls.msk.ru>
