[Qemu-devel] [RFC 5/5] virtio: fix virtio-blk child refcount in transports

[Stefan Hajnoczi]

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-blk child is not finalized!

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