virtio-pci: fix use after free
Commit 31a3ddda166cda86d2b5111e09ba4bda5239fae6 introduced a use after free in virtio-pci. The main issue is that the release method signals removal of the virtio device, while remove signals removal of the pci device. For example, on driver removal or hot-unplug, virtio_pci_release_dev is called before virtio_pci_remove. We then might get a crash as virtio_pci_remove tries to use the device freed by virtio_pci_release_dev. We allocate/free all resources together with the pci device, so we can leave the release method empty. Signed-off-by: Michael S.
