[Qemu-trivial] [PATCH] [TRIVIAL] Replace object_delete() with object_unref().

[Alexander Barabash <alexander_barabash@mentor.com>]

     Replace object_delete() with object_unref().

     In the existing implementation, object_delete()
     calls object_unref(), then frees the object's storage.
     Running object_delete() on an object with reference count
     different from one (1) causes program failure.

     In the existing implementation, object_unref()
     finalizes the object when its reference count becomes zero (0).

     In the new implementation, object_unref()
     finalizes and frees the object's storage when the reference count 
becomes zero (0).

     One usage of object_delete() replaced by object_unref().
