If the bdrv_inactivate_all fails near the end of the migration,
the migration will fail and often the only diagnostics in the log
are an I/O error which you can't distinguish from an error on
the socket connection.

Add an error so we know when it's actually a block problem.

IMHO it would be nice if bdrv_inactivate_all() can print some error
message as soon as when the error occurs, then we can know more
details (or allow caller to pass in an Error *).  But at least adding
one more error message never hurts, so:
