Fixes read after freeing error reported
  https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2017-08/msg04243.html
  Message-Id: <59a56959-ca12-ea75-33fa-ff07eba1b090@redhat.com>

ich9-ahci device creates ide buses and attaches them as QOM children
at realize time, however it forgets to properly clean them up
at unrealize time and frees memory containing these children,
with following call-chain:

   qdev_device_add()
     object_property_set_bool('realized', true)
       device_set_realized()
          ...
          pci_qdev_realize() -> pci_ich9_ahci_realize() -> ahci_realize()
               ...
               s->dev = g_new0(AHCIDevice, ports);
               ...
                  AHCIDevice *ad = &s->dev[i];
                  ide_bus_new(&ad->port, sizeof(ad->port), qdev, i, 1);
                  ^^^ creates bus in memory allocated by above gnew()
                      and adds it as child propety to ahci device
          ...
          hotplug_handler_plug(); -> goto post_realize_fail;
          pci_qdev_unrealize() -> pci_ich9_uninit() -> ahci_uninit()
              ...
               g_free(s->dev);
               ^^^ free memory that holds children busses

          return with error from device_set_realized()

As result later when qdev_device_add() tries to unparent ich9-ahci
after failed device_set_realized(),
    object_unparent() -> object_property_del_child()
iterates over existing QOM children including buses added by
ide_bus_new() and tries to unparent them, which causes access to
freed memory where they where located.
