Rather than deferring the free, you should defer the unref. Otherwise
the following can happen when you have "real" RCU access to the memory
map on the read-side:
VCPU thread I/O thread
=====================================================================
get MMIO request
rcu_read_lock()
walk memory map
qdev_unmap()
lock_devtree()
...
unlock_devtree
unref dev -> refcnt=0, free enqueued
ref()
rcu_read_unlock()
free()
<dangling pointer!>
If you defer the unref, you have instead
VCPU thread I/O thread
=====================================================================
get MMIO request
rcu_read_lock()
walk memory map
qdev_unmap()
lock_devtree()
...
unlock_devtree
unref is enqueued
ref() -> refcnt = 2
rcu_read_unlock()
unref() -> refcnt=1
unref() -> refcnt = 1
So this also makes patch 14 unnecessary.
