From: Gonglei <arei.gonglei@huawei.com>

virtio-$device-{pci, s390, ccw} all duplicate the
qdev properties of their virtio child. This approach does
not work well with string or pointer properties since we
must be careful about leaking or double-freeing them.

Use the QOM alias property to forward property accesses to the
VirtIO$dev child.  This way no duplication is necessary.

For their child, object_initialize() leaves the object with a refcount of 1.
object_property_add_child() adds its own reference which is dropped
again when the property is deleted.

The upshot of this is that we always have a refcount >= 1.  Upon hot
unplug the virtio-$device child is not finalized!

Drop our reference after the child property has been added to the
parent.

Changes since v2:
 - fix some typos about commit message in PATCH 12 (Cornelia/Paolo)
 - add 'Reviewed-by' tag

Thanks for review!

Changs since v1:
 - add the same handling for virtio-9p-pci device in PATCH 10 and PATCH 11.
 - add a wrapper function for better code sharing 
   in PATCH 12 (Cornelia/Michael/Paolo)


Attention please:
 As Michael's comments, the patches will introduce regresion about
 "-device FOO,help", which had been fixed by my other patch series:
  [PATCH v4 0/5] add description field in ObjectProperty and PropertyInfo struct
 http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2014-09/msg05740.html

Acknowledgements:
 I copied Stefan's commit c5d49db message about virtio-blk which
 summarized reasons very well, I cannot agree more with him.
 Holp Stefan do not mind, thanks!
