[sheepdog] [PATCH] sheepdog: Fix misleading error messages in sd_snapshot_create()

If do_sd_create() fails, it first reports the error returned, then
reports a another one with strerror(errno).  errno is meaningless at
that point.

Report just one error combining the valid information from both
messages.

Applies on top of my "[PATCH v2 00/10] Clean up around
error_get_pretty(), qerror_report_err()", but rebasing to master would
be trivial.
