This doesn't make much sense to me. The lines just above the
diff context have this:

    fd = socket_connect(s->addr, errp, NULL, NULL);

socket_connect should have already reported an error on "errp"
in the scenario that 'fd == -1'. So AFAICT the new error_setg is
just throwing away the real detailed error message in favour of
a generic message.

So I'm puzzelled why we need to change anything - error reporting
should already be working fine.

Regards,
Daniel
