Options -M memory-backend and -numa memdev are mutually exclusive,
and if used together, it might lead to a crash in the worst case.
For example when the same backend is used with these options together:
-m 4G \
-object memory-backend-ram,id=mem0,size=4G \
-M pc,memory-backend=mem0 \
-numa node,memdev=mem0
QEMU will abort with:
exec.c:2006: qemu_ram_set_idstr: Assertion `!new_block->idstr[0]' failed.
and following backtrace:
abort ()
qemu_ram_set_idstr ()
vmstate_register_ram ()
vmstate_register_ram_global ()
machine_consume_memdev ()
numa_init_memdev_container ()
numa_complete_configuration ()
machine_run_board_init ()
add a check to error out in case the user tries to use both options at
the same time.
