While forcing the CPU to unrealize by hand does trigger the clean-up
code we never fully free resources because refcount never reaches
zero. This is because QOM automatically added objects without an
explicit parent to /unattached/, incrementing the refcount.

Instead of manually triggering unrealization just unparent the object
and let the device machinery deal with that for us.

Applied to my linux-user-for-7.1 branch.

I remove it from the branch.

It breaks something with arm64 (only) target (any distros: stretch, sid, trusty, bionic), 
the following LTP test cases fail:

bind04, bind05, fcntl34, fcntl34_64, fcntl36, fcntl36_64, inotify09, mmap18, 
sched_setattr01, sched_getattr01, tgkill01, tgkill02, tgkill03, futex_wake02

For instance:

tst_test.c:1250: TINFO: Timeout per run is 0h 05m 00s
bind04.c:117: TINFO: Testing AF_UNIX pathname stream
bind04.c:150: TPASS: Communication successful
tst_test.c:1300: TBROK: Test killed by SIGSEGV!

Thanks,
Laurent
