virtio_pci: defer kfree until release callback
A struct device which has just been unregistered can live on past the
point at which a driver decides to drop it's initial reference to the
kobject gained on allocation.
This implies that when releasing a virtio device, we can't free a struct
virtio_device until the underlying struct device has been released,
which might not happen immediately on device_unregister().
Unfortunately, this is exactly what virtio pci does:
it has an empty release callback, and frees memory immediately
after unregistering the device.
This causes an easy to reproduce crash if CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE
it enabled.
To fix, free the memory only once we know the device is gone in the release
callback.
