[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] qdev: Fix use after free in qdev_init_nofail error path

[Fam Zheng]

Since 69382d8b (qdev: Fix object reference leak in case device.realize()
fails), object_property_set_bool could release the object. The error
path wants the type name, so hold an reference before realizing it.
