Was there a check for non-NULL o->socket before this? Maybe it's not
needed because QAPI treats 'socket' as a required field and refuses to
create the SocketAddress if it's missing?

The error reporting needs to be synchronous so that hotplugging with
object-add fails instead of succeeding and leaving a failed object.

In the startup case (not hotplug) it's okay to abort.

The object's fields are initialized to 0 so this isn't necessary.

The notifier is invoked immediately if the machine has already been
initialized. That means vfu_object_machine_done() is called before the
properties ('socket' and 'device') have been set when object-add hotplug
is used. I think this needs to be moved elsewhere.

Missing qemu_remove_machine_init_done_notifier().
