virtio: Tell the user what went wrong when event_notifier_init failed

Browse Source 
event_notifier_init() can fail in real life, for example when there
are not enough open file handles available (EMFILE) when using a lot
of devices. So instead of leaving the average user with a cryptic
error number only, print out a proper error message with strerror()
instead, so that the user has a better way to figure out what is
going on and that using "ulimit -n" might help here for example.
