The underlying issue is likely with find and/or the kernel versions.
However, you can work around that in a couple of ways.

You probably don't need to search the /proc/ pseudo-filesystem for
qemu files.  So here's a way to skip it:

# find / -path /proc/ -prune -o -name qemu

Alternatively, if '/' is the only filesystem where qemu files will
exist, you can restrict your find to it alone:

# find / -xdev -name qemu
