If device doesn't have parent assined before its realize is called, device_set_realized() will implicitly set parent to '/machine/unattached'.
However device_set_realized() may fail after that point at several other points leaving not realized object dangling in '/machine/unattached' and as result caller of obj = object_new() obj->ref == 1 object_property_set_bool(obj,..., true, "realized",...) obj->ref == 2 if (fail) object_unref(obj); obj->ref == 1 will get object leak instead of expected object destruction. Fix it by making device_set_realized() to cleanup after itself in case of failure.
