vhost: Release memory references on cleanup
vhost registers a MemoryListener where it adds and removes references to MemoryRegions as the MemoryRegionSections pass through. The region_add callback is invoked for each existing section when the MemoryListener is registered, but unregistering the MemoryListener performs no reciprocal region_del callback. It's therefore the owner of the MemoryListener's responsibility to cleanup any persistent changes, such as these memory references, after unregistering. The consequence of this bug is that if we have both a vhost device and a vfio device, the vhost device will reference any mmap'd MMIO of the vfio device via this MemoryListener. If the vhost device is then removed, those references remain outstanding. If we then attempt to remove the vfio device, it never gets finalized and the only way to release the kernel file descriptors is to terminate the QEMU process.
