Subject: [PATCH 2/2] tools: hv: fcopy: set 'error' in case an unknown operation was requested

From: Vitaly Kuznetsov <vkuznets@...hat.com>

'error' variable is left uninitialized in case we see an unknown operation.
As we don't immediately return and proceed to pwrite() we need to set it
to something, HV_E_FAIL sounds good enough.
