qdev_free and qbus_free have to do unparent+unref, because nobody else
drops the initial reference (the one included by object_initialize)
before them.

For device_init_func and do_device_add, this is trivially correct,
since the DeviceState goes out of scope.

For qdev_create, qdev_try_create and qbus_init, it is a bit more tricky.
What we are doing here is just assuming that the caller knows what it's
doing, and won't call qdev_free/qbus_free while the device is still there.
This is a pretty reasonable assumption and (behind the scenes) is also
what GObject/GTK does.  GTK actually has a "floating reference" that
goes away as soon as the caller does gtk_container_add or something
like that, but in the end qbus_init and qdev_try_create are already
adding the new object to its qdev parent!  So in the end the two solutions
are the same.
