The theoretical behavior should be:

- realize fails

- object_unparent is called on the device that failed to realize (see
qdev_device_add).  object_unparent calls device_unparent

- after device_unparent finishes, the last reference to the device has
been dropped and the device is freed

- object finalization releases all properties

- this includes child properties, so for each child device
object_unparent is called

- again device_unparent is called (for the child) and this removes the
child from the bus.
