Commit a0d7215e33 ("vhost-vdpa: do not cleanup the vdpa/vhost-net structures if peer nic is present") effectively delayed the backend cleanup, allowing the frontend or the guest to access it resources as long as the frontend NIC is still visible to the guest.
However it does not clean up the resources until the qemu process is over. This causes an effective leak if the device is deleted with device_del, as there is no way to close the vdpa device. This makes impossible to re-add that device to this or other QEMU instances until the first instance of QEMU is finished. Move the cleanup from qemu_cleanup to the NIC deletion.
