virtio_pci: Prevent double-free of pci regions after device hot-unplug
In the case where a virtio-console port is in use (opened by a program) and a virtio-console device is removed, the port is kept around but all the virtio-related state is assumed to be gone. When the port is finally released (close() called), we call device_destroy() on the port's device. This results in the parent device's structures to be freed as well. This includes the PCI regions for the virtio-console PCI device. Once this is done, however, virtio_pci_release_dev() kicks in, as the last ref to the virtio device is now gone, and attempts to do pci_iounmap(pci_dev, vp_dev->ioaddr); pci_release_regions(pci_dev); pci_disable_device(pci_dev); which results in a double-free warning. Move the code that releases regions, etc., to the virtio_pci_remove() function, and all that's now left in release_dev is the final freeing of the vp_dev.
