I did a mistake and committed this patch instead of the
"red-stream-device: Fix leaks in dispose and finalize chaining parent"
(which was acked by Christophe Fergeau).
Now with the 2 patches on master Valgrind is happy and CI is working.
Not exactly sure if this patch is 100% correct, I think so but is
weird that agent_dev can be inside the device list or not based on Qemu
parameters (without Qemu base on "vdagent" interface registration).
Got the feeling that something is potentially broken in all these
references. In theory for instance the "vdagent" interface can be
unregistered leaving with the agent_dev still in the list but a
future potential addition of another "vdagent" interface would add
the agent_dev again to the list. Using Qemu I don't think this is
possible (interfaces are added and never removed).
Note that devices are removed from the list only if the object reference
got 0 but in case of agent_dev when the interface is removed the agent_dev
will still be valid and won't be removed from the list automatically.
Maybe we should not remove from the list automatically?
