If a frontend device releases the chardev (via unplug), the chr handlers
are set to NULL via qdev's exit callbacks invoking
qemu_chr_add_handlers().  If the chardev had a pending operation, a
callback will be invoked, which will try to access data in the
just-released frontend, causing a segfault.

Ensure the callbacks are disabled when frontends release chardevs.

This was seen when a virtio-serial port was unplugged when heavy
guest->host IO was in progress (causing a callback to be registered).
In the window in which the throttling was active, unplugging ports
caused a qemu segfault.
