[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/1] hw/usb/bus: Remove bad object_unparent() from usb_try_create_simple()

[Thomas Huth]

Valgrind detects an invalid read operation when hot-plugging of an
USB device fails:

The object_unparent() here is not necessary anymore since commit
69382d8b3e8600b3 ("qdev: Fix object reference leak in case device.realize()
fails"), so let's remove it now.
