If users try to add an isa-vga device that was already registered,
still in command line, qemu will crash:

$ qemu-system-mips64el -M pica61 -device isa-vga
RAMBlock "vga.vram" already registered, abort!
Aborted (core dumped)

That particular board registers the device automaticaly, so it's
not obvious that a VGA device already exists. This patch changes
this behavior by displaying a message and exiting without crashing.

v3 to v4: Used object_resolve_path_type instead of qemu_ram_block_by_name
          and copied the message from virgl, to give the same user exp.
v2 to v3: Improved error message
v1 to v2: Use error_setg instead of error_report
