This won't work, since we are dereferencing bs shortly after
(potentially) freeing it.  I would say just move the bdrv_unref() to
the end of the function, but I have another concern as well.  

If bs is freed, then BDS pointer is now invalid, but not NULL.  So
there is no way for callers of bdrv_detach_dev() to know if the BDS
pointer they passed into bdrv_detach_dev() is still valid; in fact, I
think some call bdrv_close(bs) afterwards (piix).  Qdev also still
uses it, although just for pointer comparison and not dereferencing.
