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.
