From: Haotian Jiang <[email protected]>

qxl_realize_common() registers a vm_change_state handler via
qemu_add_vm_change_state_handler() and creates three bottom halves
(update_irq, update_area_bh, cursor_bh), but none are ever cleaned up.
The return value of qemu_add_vm_change_state_handler() is discarded, so
the handler is never removed from the global list, and there is no
PCIDeviceClass.exit callback to delete the BHs.

When a secondary QXL device (hotpluggable by default) is hot-unplugged
via device_del, the PCIQXLDevice memory is freed but the vm_state
handler and BH entries remain with dangling opaque pointers. On the
next VM state change (stop/cont/migrate) or BH dispatch, the callback
dereferences freed memory, causing a use-after-free.

Fix this by storing the VMChangeStateEntry returned by
qemu_add_vm_change_state_handler() and adding a qxl_exit() callback
that deletes the vm_state handler, all three BHs, and the
guest_surfaces.cmds allocation before the device memory is freed.
